Direction from the top: “Onboarding for new hires doesn’t match our brand. Bring it up to our standard.”

Pushback from HR: “No thanks, we’ll stick with what we know.”

-An increasingly outdated, overstuffed PowerPoint presentation was fashioned into a dynamic, surprising journey using Prezi.

-Policies and paperwork were transformed from an anonymous, binder-clipped brick into a branded, meticulously organized, slender folder (bonus reduction of shipping costs).
