Case Study: Influence & Co. achieves scalable internal communication and meeting-cost savings with 15Five

Influence & Co. Grows Rapidly with Automated Employee Feedback

Influence & Co., a content marketing agency that grew from a 2-person startup to 80+ employees in five years, faced growing communication challenges: weekly in-person meetings that worked early on became inefficient after about 15 people, and information began to bottleneck as the company added layers of management. They needed a way to surface issues, share learnings, and keep priorities visible across a distributed team.

By adopting 15Five’s lightweight weekly check-ins, pass‑up feature and Goals & Accomplishments, managers could crowdsource ideas, pass insights up the chain, and give employees a simple way to prioritize work. The result was faster cross-team learning, reduced information silos, better task focus and an estimated annual savings of over $200,000 by avoiding costly weekly all‑hands meetings.
