I wrote, re-wrote, and edited scripts used in creating animated videos for workplace communication enhancement for hundreds of clients, 20% from Fortune 500 companies. The scripts were read by voice over actors to enhance the storytelling aspects of these videos. Topics ranged from job benefits, training, and financial information, to talent and performance management.The position relied on collaboration with producers, designers, and of course, customers.I trained and lead a small team of new writers/editors involved in the annual refreshing of current customers' video script content. In this position, I acted as a mentor and point person for new team members learning the format, flow, and expectations of their roles.
