To give people an idea of what it is like to work at Seenit: who the team are, where we work, and what we get up to. We challenged all employees to film their day from start to finish to help show who we are beyond the office. The final video was used for hiring posts across our social channels and website.

Another possible use is introducing new employees to their team, especially if they're working remotely. You could also use a video like this for recruitment as it gives potential applicants a feel for what the team and company are really like.

1. Story title

This should be a clear, easy-to-understand summary of the Story.

2. Story introduction video

What’s more authentic than a video message to contributors explaining what they need to do? This is the time to really hammer home what the purpose of the Story is, and get the contributors excited to be a part of it.

Video introductions allow for a more personal touch to a Story, and puts contributors at ease. Lead by example and explain how they should participate!

3. Story introduction

Contributors are more likely to take part in a Story if the introduction is simple, with a clear instruction as to what they need to do, and how the footage is going to be used.

Story introduction - A day in the life

We're documenting a day in the life of Seenit ☀️, from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed!

We want to know:

What time do you wake up? ⏰ Do you do anything before work? How do you get to work?
What happens in your day at work? Who do you interact with? How do you spend your lunchtimes?
Do you do anything after work? What happens in your evenings?

This is all specific to that ONE day that we ask you to film.

*** EPISODE 1 IS BEING FILMED ON THURSDAY 28TH MARCH ***

Here's what Story creator Charlotte said about how she encouraged contributions:

I gave notice of filming a day in advance and I sent a Slack (internal messenger) message out the evening before to remind people. I also invited people to the project individually so they all got an email, and I ensured the email invitation had the filming instructions in it.
Then, on the day, I sent messages to contributors to congratulate and encourage them to film more if they had already contributed, and for those who hadn't, I sent messages saying I'd seen they hadn't contributed yet and asked if they fancied uploading something.
