Build the workforce
your sector needs.
We work directly with industry bodies, tertiary providers and private training establishments to create the content, careers intelligence and platforms that connect the right people with critical industries.
The workforce intelligence gap is costing your sector.
New Zealand's critical industries are facing persistent workforce shortages — not because the talent isn't there, but because career pathways are invisible, fragmented and poorly communicated to the people who need them most.
workin. was built to fix that. We combine deep industry knowledge, professional content production and a proprietary career-matching platform to connect your sector with the people it needs.
Services built around your sector's reality.
Every engagement starts with listening. We co-design with your team so what we build reflects the authentic reality of working in your industry — not a polished version of it.
Co-design & industry messaging
We work alongside your team to develop a shared vision, authentic industry story and the messaging that will actually resonate with the people you need to reach — school leavers, career changers, and the communities most underrepresented in your workforce.
- Shared vision and narrative development
- Industry voice and tone framework
- Audience segmentation and targeting strategy
- Content and campaign planning
Film direction & content production
We direct, shoot and edit professional career-pathway videos that put real people front and centre. Authentic faces. Real worksites. Honest stories. Our ESI career-video series has reached over 15,000 views through organic growth alone — proof that genuine content outperforms polished corporate messaging.
- Storyboard development and creative direction
- Principal photography on location
- Professional editing and post-production
- Full social-media publishing and distribution
