Amplifying remote work leadership: the Remote Revelations success story

The challenge:

As the world's most prominent remote worker relocation program, Tulsa Remote needed a platform that could accomplish multiple strategic objectives simultaneously:

• Thought Leadership Positioning: Establish Tulsa Remote as more than just a relocation incentive program—positioning them as genuine thought leaders in the remote work space who understand the nuances of distributed teams, hybrid work structures, and the future of work.

• Community Storytelling: Showcase the human stories behind their success metrics, demonstrating how remote work enables life transformation while contributing to economic development in unexpected places.

• Educational Resource Development: Provide actionable insights for remote workers, hybrid teams, and organizational leaders navigating the complexities of distributed work in a post-pandemic landscape.

• Expertise Accessibility: Make high-level remote work expertise accessible to their community while building relationships with industry thought leaders and researchers.

• Program Credibility: Use authentic member stories and expert validation to demonstrate the real impact and legitimacy of the Tulsa Remote model for stakeholders, policymakers, and potential participants.

What we did:

Facilitated conversations with leaders like Rebecca Hinds from Asana's Work Innovation Lab, Laurel Farr from Distribute Consulting, and Brett Martin from Kumo Space, ensuring each episode delivered actionable frameworks while positioning Tulsa Remote as a connector and amplifier of remote work expertise.

• Produced intimate member spotlight episodes featuring diverse remote workers who relocated through Tulsa Remote, from Alex Poppe's journey from Iraq to Tulsa's arts scene to Misha Shah and Andy Sajnani's entrepreneurial success story. Crafted narratives that highlighted both personal transformation and community contribution, demonstrating the mutual benefit of the Tulsa Remote model.

• Handled all aspects of audio production, editing, and post-production to ensure professional quality that matches Tulsa Remote's innovative brand. Developed consistent audio branding and show flow that reinforces their position as forward-thinking leaders in the remote work space.

• Created episode titles, descriptions, and show notes optimized for remote work, hybrid team management, and location independence searches. Developed content strategies that capture both broad remote work audiences and specific communities interested in relocation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.
