Firstup, the pioneer of intelligent communication and engagement platforms for the workforce, has launched a major product update that significantly advances personalization, content prioritization, and self-service capabilities. Building on the previous quarter's Audience Block Targeting introduction, this release extends tailored experiences across the full employee journey, including web and mobile homepages, feeds, and analytics, to drive higher engagement and measurable business results.

Organizations increasingly recognize that relevant, timely communication is essential for employee productivity, alignment, and retention. Firstup's latest release strengthens its platform as a no-code solution for delivering hyper-personalized digital experiences at enterprise scale. By enabling distinct homepage layouts and content delivery tailored to specific employee segments, the update helps reduce digital noise and surface the most actionable resources.
"Personalization isn't just a core building block of our platform. It's the foundation for driving real business outcomes for our customers," said Bill Schuh, CEO of Firstup. "When their employees see content and resources that are directly relevant to them, through the channel that is optimal for them, they engage at up to 3x baseline rates and take actions that lead to results. This release helps our customers deliver that kind of relevance and impact at scale."
The expanded Custom Homepage allows organizations to craft precision-targeted entry points for different audiences using criteria such as role, location, and tenure. Features include drag-and-drop prioritization, content stacking to group topics into cohesive modules, and filtering controls for visibility. When paired with Knowledge Hubs for centralized resources and Shortcuts for quick system access, the platform supports a fully layered personalization approach.
Mobile users now receive the same rich, customized experience on iOS and Android, with optimized visual elements to maintain consistency across devices. All configurations remain accessible to business users without requiring IT, code, or SDK involvement.
"This latest release is the next step in our personalization strategy," said Cheryl Chavez, CPO of Firstup. "We're giving our customers real precision in how they reach their employees. Audience-targeted homepages, content delivery to specific segments of employees, and self-service data exports. These are all powerful enhancements that help boost employee productivity and drive real business outcomes."
Additional advancements include Focused Content for granular targeting within broader topics, deeper analytics for UKG Pro integration usage, and fully self-service direct data export management. These capabilities further empower communicators to optimize delivery, gain actionable insights, and streamline operations.
