You're in HR or Internal Comms at a company with 200+ employees spread across time zones.
Leadership just approved a reorganization, a new benefits package, or a strategic pivot.
The message needs to reach everyone, clearly, before the rumor mill starts.
You draft a company-wide email.
It competes with the 304 other work emails your employees receive that week.
You schedule an all-hands for 2pm Eastern.
APAC is asleep, EMEA has gone home, and half the US team is on customer calls.
The people who attend get the full context.
Everyone else pieces together the news from Slack threads and hallway whispers.
43% of employees say they miss important information because of sheer content volume in their inboxes
Rumors beat you to it By the time the official email goes out, Slack channels have already written their own version of the story
2-4 weeks to produce Traditional video production timelines mean the announcement is old news before the video ships
Half the company excluded Live all-hands meetings structurally exclude every time zone that isn't convenient for HQ
Every botched announcement erodes trust that took months to build.
From "I heard through the grapevine" to "I watched the CEO explain it herself"
The Old Way
Before ngram
The ngram Way
After ngram
Your company is merging two departments. It's a positive move, but the details matter. Leadership wants to explain the rationale, address concerns, and outline what changes for each team. You schedule an all-hands for 2pm Eastern.
Same merger. But this time, the CEO records a 5-minute video explaining the changes. She talks through the rationale, names what's staying the same, and outlines the timeline. ngram cleans the audio, adds captions, highlights key dates with on-screen text, and applies your company branding.
West Coast employees are in back-to-back morning meetings. Your London office has signed off. Singapore is asleep. Of the 400 people who need this message, 180 attend live. The rest get a 47-minute recording nobody has time to watch and a forwarded Slack summary that omits critical nuance.
The video goes out at 8am in every time zone. Singapore watches before their standup. London catches it over morning coffee. New York sees it when they open their laptop. Same message, same tone, same reassurance. No secondhand interpretations.
By Friday, anxious employees are DMing their managers with questions the announcement already answered. Two team leads are correcting misinformation in their standups. HR spends the next two weeks putting out fires that a clear, accessible message would have prevented.
When employees have questions, they rewatch the video. When managers get asked, they share the link. Your CHRO asks who produced it. It took 15 minutes.

Polished announcements from a quick leadership recording
ngram turns a rough executive recording into a polished company announcement video that reaches every employee with the same message, tone, and context.
1
Record the leadership message
Have the CEO, CHRO, or team lead record the announcement once on their webcam or phone. No script rehearsals, no studio, no production crew. ngram cleans the audio, cuts pauses, adds captions, and applies your company branding. One take becomes a message every employee receives identically.
2
Or start from a written brief
Paste the announcement memo, talking points, or internal FAQ. ngram generates a script, builds a storyboard with supporting visuals and key data points, and produces a complete video with voiceover and branded motion graphics. Perfect for recurring updates like quarterly reviews or policy changes.

Either way, important news reaches everyone the same way. Announcements that land, not leak.
What changes when hr company announcement video take minutes
Every time zone gets the same message
Async video eliminates the structural inequality of live meetings. Singapore, London, and New York all hear the announcement firsthand, with full context and leadership tone intact. No more second-class employees who missed the call.
Control the narrative before Slack does
Information spreads whether you control it or not. A polished video from leadership becomes the single source of truth. When employees reference the announcement, they're referencing your words, not a coworker's interpretation.
Leadership feels human, not distant
Employees retain 95% of a message from video versus 10% from text. More importantly, they see the CEO's facial expressions, hear the sincerity in their voice, and feel personally addressed. Video builds the trust that emails cannot.
A reference employees actually revisit
All-hands memories fade within hours. Emails get buried by Tuesday. Announcement videos live on your intranet permanently. When an employee joins a month later or a manager needs to reference the original message, the video is still there.

Auto Captions
Every employee understands, regardless of where they're watching
Employees watch announcements at their desk, on the train, or between meetings with the sound off. Accurate captions ensure your message lands in any context. For global teams, captions also bridge accent and language barriers.
