Ever wonder how mid-sized companies can go toe-to-toe with the big dogs in the battle for talent? Melanie and ourselves shine a light on the strategic importance of a company's 'why' as we dissect how to craft an employer brand that resonates with the desires of today's job seekers, especially when it comes to remote work. We don't just stop there; we also tackle the thorny issue of AI in marketing, from automating the mundane to sparking a renaissance in creative thinking.
