• The creative brief approach that treats employees as collaborators, not just subjects
• How to make the ask so employees feel special (and actually say yes)
• How to generate lots of content formats from a one-day photoshoot
• Working around the biggest challenge: time constraints with deskless workers
• Why starting with student creators built the perfect foundation
• Using AI to craft better questions without losing authenticity
Real examples include an 81-year-old veterinary technician sharing career wisdom, rescue stories from house fires, and hyper-targeted video job ads for struggling markets.
