The change

Following our positioning work with Insights, to unite and connect 900 teams of 1 into 1 team of 900 we were challenged to create a virtual learning festival to celebrate Insights’ core value – bravery.

Taking the core proposition; “We Build Connections”, we created Connections Week, a 4 day festival of content to engage and inspire colleagues.

Bravery was the perfect springboard for our Insights colleagues, who, unlike their Marketing counterparts, are measured, pragmatic and driven thinkers. Our sessions were themed around confidence, empowerment, the bravery in vulnerability and helping the audience to connect on a very human level.

Working with PepsiCo is an absolute joy. They invest so much time and energy into their internal communications and colleague engagement, that it’s infectious! We feel so incredibly proud to have helped them on their journey to more connected colleagues.
