So, I had this project recently...

For 2009, there was a new plan for the Hudson annual report. The company wanted to develop an employee showcase highlighting individuals who were staying strong and accomplishing great things despite of difficult economic conditions. Handed a list of almost two dozen employees located on every corner of the globe, a brief outline of their accomplishments and a quickly approaching deadline, 423 Communication dug in quickly. Interviews were conducted with highlighted employees, and the ensuing conversations were crafted into brief personal vignettes, with audio files of their best quotes augmenting the written stories.

Read a sample interview from the showcase.  Here's another.
