How Important is Culture & Engagement to a Company?

October 27, 2022

Culture and engagement are pretty much the foundation of any company. They’re really essential things for businesses to thrive.


The way everybody behaves and works with each other, the company's values, beliefs, and attitudes. How integrated, involved and committed everyone feels to their work and the company as a whole. All of these things are quite closely linked through culture and engagement.

How Does a Positive Culture Help?

A positive company culture is obviously a good thing! Engaged people who enjoy their jobs, their work, and the company they work for.


This is also a great recipe for finding and retaining talent. People are more likely to go above and beyond and stick around to work up through the ranks. A positive company culture leads to better teamwork too.


Creating a Positive Culture

It starts with hiring the right people and setting the tone from the top down. But it takes ongoing effort to keep that positivity alive and make everyone aware of how important their role is, no matter how small. Here are a few examples of things you can do to create a positive culture:


  • Encourage open communication: Everybody should feel like they can freely communicate with their managers and their peers. Mental health is a big one too so ensure you have someone on the team as a mental health first aider on hand.


  • Respect individual differences: People should feel like they can totally be themselves at work. Inclusivity is everything!


  • Encourage teamwork and recognition: Let everyone feel they’re part of a team and their work is really valued with celebrations and awards.


  • Provide opportunities for growth: Create clear avenues for development, growth both individually and as groups.


  • Balance work with fun: Organise team days, nights out, extracurricular activities for charities and things that mean something to individual people on your team and everyone as a whole.


  • The physical environment: the difference between a daudy and bland office or an inspiring and fun place to be. Where would you rather spend your time?


Why is Company Engagement Important?

There are so many reasons! At the end of the day, a company is only as good as the people who make it. 


Engaged people on your team are more productive and more satisfied with their jobs. They continue to create a positive company culture, which can attract and retain top talent. They’re also more likely to be brand ambassadors for their company. It’s a domino effect!

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
