  • EP 107 New Year, Time for a New Job? Leigh Welsh Founder of Vidible Talks About Human Centered Marketing

    Send us Fan Mail

    BIO

    I spent 10 years in the talent & recruitment industry, building my personal brand and video content expertise from the ground up, having had no qualifications or professional background. 

    I believe the human element of a digital age I've grown up in is losing touch and I'm on a mission to change that.
    A decade working with blue chips, startups and everything in between has taught me that most corporates follow the same cookie cutter narrative & it's harder than ever to standout from the crowd.

    At Vidible, we believe Videos, Podcasts & Events create deeper connections with customers, offer authentic insight into a company and showcase the people behind the business. (And the numbers back it up!)

    We transform how brands are perceived - less artificial intelligence... more human intelligence!

    If you'd like to be a guest on my female leadership Podcast or want a refreshing perspective on marketing, hit me up. [email protected]
