A promotion announcement is one of the few messages a small team reads twice, so it is worth getting right the first time: who is stepping up, from when, what changes for the people who now report to them or hand work to them, and how to say congratulations without an inbox full of reply-all. The announcement builder on this site writes it for the scenario with the acknowledgement sheet attached, free and without an account, so the message is specific rather than warm and vague, and everyone who needs to know the new reporting line can say they saw it.
Lead with what changes
The name and the new title come first, then the date it takes effect, then the practical part: who now approves the rota, who signs off the order, who the new hire reports to from Monday. A promotion announcement that stops at congratulations leaves the reporting line to rumour, and rumour on a small team travels faster than the email did.
Write it in the reader's vocabulary
The builder writes the message for the scenario in the words the team uses, not the words a job description uses. The crew needs to know that Sam now does the Friday close and signs the delivery sheet; the phrase senior operations associate can wait for the org chart. Specific beats warm, and a message the reader can act on is the kindest kind.
Attach the acknowledgement
A change of reporting line must be known, so the announcement carries an acknowledgement sheet. On the worked example 14 of 20 acknowledge unprompted and the remaining 6 are a list, not a guess, and those 6 are the people who would otherwise ask next week who they report to. EmployeeDeskHQ Pro records each acknowledgement against the person.
Send it where people are
The roster records how each person is reached, the app, a text, the noticeboard, the huddle, and the promotion announcement goes out on those channels. A post in the office channel alone reaches the office. From the vendor's own pricing page, Blink lists Core at $5.60 per user per month billed monthly or $3.75 billed annually, and Pro at $7.00 monthly or $5.00 annually; EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, which undercuts the per-user benchmark from six seats.

Should the whole team acknowledge it?
Everyone whose work touches the new reporting line should, so the chase list is short and specific. The acknowledgement sheet is attached to the announcement the builder writes.
