Personio entrusts me with shaping the entire production—from storytelling and creative direction to speaker coaching and stage direction—ensuring their innovations are presented with impact on one of the industry’s biggest platforms.

Challenge

Personio needed to present its latest product innovations as a leading HR software company at HUG, its annual flagship conference. The challenge was transforming complex technological advancements into a captivating, high-impact experience resonating with HR professionals, industry leaders, and clients—on a massive stage featuring a 25x4-meter-wide screen and large-scale production values.

Approach

I have supported Personio’s production cycle for several years, from scripting the first draft to assembling and orchestrating a team of top creatives, including designers, media producers, and technical specialists. I helped shape the narrative, visual concept, and storytelling framework to ensure clarity and emotional impact. Additionally, I coached the entire leadership team, refining their stage presence and delivery for an audience of thousands.

Result

HUG became more than just a conference—it evolved into a highly polished, large-scale showcase reinforcing Personio's HR innovation leadership. The presentations were delivered confidently, and positive feedback was received, strengthening Personio's brand and placing it at the industry's forefront. The seamless blend of compelling storytelling, cutting-edge visuals, and executive presence set the benchmark on one of the industry's biggest stages.
