How can we communicate authentically as humans with AI robots that aren’t human?!?!

Seems a bit hypocritical right?

As far as I know, we’re still in control…hopefully 😅 Which means, AI is just a tool like all the other tools 🧰

In today’s episode, Demian Krentz and I share our top 7 AI tools that FUNGI Media uses to produce video and creative content 🎥

What tools are you curious about?!

And another one 🍿🎬 Very proud of the 🍄 FUNGI Media team for this award winning customer story video in partnership with Cushman & Wakefield

🎬🎬🎬🎬 (this is a social cutdown from the longer form)

The story behind the story...Cushman launched an incredibly epic video campaign called "Life is what WE make it".

BTW...I personally love that message because to me it means taking ownership of our lives and that we get to decide the impact we make.

🍄 Fungi 🍄 helped bring the campaign to life through the video and stories about the positive impact that Cushman is having on their clients and their communities 🎥

🎬🎬🎬🎬

One of the biggest reasons this was a success was that our client values the power of authentic storytelling...shout out to Helen Lee and the C&W team 🎯

🍄🍄🍄🍄

I'll post the actual video in the comments. Can you spot our creative director Ian Robertson Kibbe in any of the shots?

Why did our video turn out so boring? 😬

A few possible reasons...

🍄 It doesn't tell a story
🍄 It's focused only on information and lacks emotion
🍄 It doesn't feature World Champion Air Guitarist Nordic Thunder

Tip: Include at least two of those ingredients!
_______

Nordic stopped by the FUNGI Media studios and let's just say it got a little weird 🙂

🍄 FUNGI Media 🍄swept the Telly Awards 🎥 📣 Excited to share the news that we won gold and silver for our client Knauf Insulation North America for telling the story of their Shasta Lake Manufacturing Plant 🎥🎥

🎬🎬🎬🎬

The story behind the story...FUNGI Media did a video to make a big splash in the local community to boost recruiting efforts and employee engagement. Double whammy!

The take away...recruitment, employee engagement, community engagement is all about people...give the people the ability to tell their own story in their own words 🎥

🎬🎬🎬🎬

One of the biggest reasons this was a success was that our client values the power of authentic storytelling...shout out to Erin Weartz🎯

Another one of the other biggest reasons is we work with partners like Tell Your Story to give this video a platform to connect with the community...shout out to Amanda Pollard🎯

Hey look ma, we’re on TV!

Should CEOs share their political opinions publicly? 😬

They could alienate half of their workforce and it seems like that's often the biggest fear ⛈

👇👇👇👇👇

First off, I'm excited to share that 🍄 FUNGI Media 🍄 is launching a new podcast called 🍄"Go Fungal" 🙂 Don't go viral, go fungal 🍄...get it?

👇👇👇👇👇

Second, I'm excited that we're talking to Caleb Gardner, formerly the lead digital strategist for President Obama’s political advocacy group. We ask the question "Is civil discourse dead online?"

Caleb says it's more about values, than politics...and the hard part is that social media doesn't allow much room for nuance.

What do you think? Would love to know your thoughts in the comments!

----------------------

You can check Caleb out at his website calebgardner.com and find out more about his new book, "No Point B," at https://lnkd.in/gjKEKG_b. You can find him almost anywhere on the internet .
