This brand film is a preview from Seth Patton (GM, Microsoft Viva) teeing up Microsoft’s September 22 virtual broadcast on employee experience—featuring Satya Nadella, LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, and Jared Spataro. It frames three “urgent pivots” from the Work Trend Index research (productivity paranoia, the need for human connection, and re-skilling to retain talent), then lands on the product news: Viva Goals (OKRs in the flow of work with integrations like Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, Power BI, Project, and Planner), Viva Pulse (confidential, template-driven feedback surveys in Teams), Leadership Corner in Viva Engage, Viva Amplify for multi-channel internal comms with writing guidance and metrics, deeper Viva Learning integration with LinkedIn Learning Hub, and Answers—an AI-powered internal Q&A experience. It also nods to Viva Sales (general availability October 3) and a new Viva Connections home experience as a one-stop shop for Viva.
We produced this as an end-to-end brand film with the unglamorous superpower clients actually care about: making a complex message feel effortless. That starts with preproduction that locks the narrative arc and visual plan, continues with production that stays organized and upbeat (yes, everyone gets fed), and finishes in post where we tighten pacing, polish the edit, dial in color, and craft sound that makes the whole piece feel confidently premium. Then we deliver the full launch bundle—closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
The inevitable sequels
Hollywood keeps stretching good ideas into progressively worse sequels. We don’t. These are the related videos—spiritual siblings of the one you just watched—as good or better than this video. Expect callbacks, new plot twists, and maybe even a scene-stealing cameo from a lower third.
