Case study · Glean

The Next Chapter

Glean's buyers had heard every AI promise. So we let Glean's customers show what changed, from then to now.

The challenge

Work AI is a crowded category, and every vendor says it will change how teams work. Glean needed proof that buyers would believe.

The idea

Let customers tell it. Each film shows one clear change in how a team works, before Glean and after, in their own words.

The story

A hospital system changing how it gives patients access to robotic surgery, told by the people who made it happen.

Why it works

Hospital buyers trust other hospitals. A customer story lets AdventHealth's teams make the case for the da Vinci system in their own words.

How a San Francisco project runs

Planned around the buyer, from the first call.

Every project starts with the buyer. Storypulse™, our audience-led method, decodes who the buyer is, what blocks them and what will convince them, before we write a word. Most films take about eight weeks from brief to finished film.

Brief

Tell us what the film has to do. Lydia or a named colleague replies within two working hours.

Treatment

You approve a written treatment before anything is filmed, so product, sales and leadership agree the story up front.

Shoot

We film across the Bay Area and the western US. If you can't be on set, watch over an HD remote dial-in.

Edit and launch

Two rounds of changes are standard. Then we cut the versions each channel needs, and track what each film does against your KPIs.
