ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Single Source of Truth: The Browns Shoes Intranet Success Story

Browns Shoes went from 35% adoption to 88% in under 12 months. In this on-demand webinar, Janine Romero (Powell) welcomes Todd Felton (StitchDX) and Eric Wagstaff (Browns Shoes) to walk you through the entire build. You'll see the platform live. You'll hear exactly what they'd do differently. And yes — you're encouraged to steal everything.

Why this webinar?

Let's be honest about the state of most company intranets. Here's what they typically look like from the inside:

  • Adoption numbers that look fine in a deck and tell a completely different story in the analytics
  • A platform IT maintains, HR announces, and everyone else ignores — until they absolutely have to log in
  • Documents scattered across three systems, a shared drive nobody admits exists, and Kevin's email
  • An IT ticket queue full of questions a good intranet would have answered automatically

 

Browns Shoes had all of this. Then they fixed it. This webinar is them explaining how — in their own words, live, with receipts.

This isn't a slide deck walkthrough. You'll see Soul Train — their actual intranet — live on screen. Every section, every feature, including the fully bilingual French/English build required by Québec law. It's one of the more elegant solutions to a genuine constraint we've seen on any platform.

What you'll learn
Why they walked away from their old intranet
 
Not "we needed a refresh." The real reasons — and the specific breaking points that made doing nothing no longer an option.

 

How they built a business case that actually got approved
 
Executive buy-in that went beyond polite nodding — and how having leadership as active users, not just sponsors, changed everything.
 
What they flatly refused to compromise on
The non-negotiables that shaped every product decision — and why Teams integration wasn't a nice-to-have, it was the whole deal.
How they got people to actually use it — and keep coming back
From the birthday feature that needed a contest to get traction, to the cafeteria menu that turned into their highest-traffic page. Yes, really. It matters more than you think.
