Jo Moffatt is the founder of Woodreed, a specialist advertising agency focusing on building and strengthening ties and increasing employee engagement inside organisations through tools, techniques, creativity, and insight from the advertising industry.
As an active volunteer for the Engage for Success movement since its inception, she channels her passion for transforming workplaces into better avenues for productivity by educating brands on employee engagement and co-hosting the Engage for Success radio show.
Her in-depth knowledge of how brands move people, combined with her years of experience on both sides of the marketing fence, make her a visionary and pioneer in both advertising and employee engagement.
Jo joins me today to discuss her two passions and how she discovered an effective way to bring brands to life from the inside out through her unique services. She shares the value of knowing what sets a brand apart from the rest of the competition and capitalising on an organisation’s unique traits to establish a brand identity that both employees and stakeholders will hold dear.
She also provides some invaluable insights on productivity, including her best practices for prioritisation and collaboration, the critical skills and characteristics one must develop, and how social media can be used for self-enrichment and self-improvement.
“The shorthand of your brand is that it is, essentially, a promise to your prospective customers.” – Jo Moffatt”
