I can see executives using the technology to disseminate corporate messages to the masses, but this is just the same platitudes, pep talk, and marketspeak we'd get through any other channels.

Great initiative, and the very best of luck. I hope you can convince your senior management that this is something they need to do, and do well. More importantly, that it isn’t just a legal/HR problem, but a communications and marketing one.
