Creativity and Compliance: Reels and Shorts

Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection—they all take creativity.

Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the award-winning Compliance Podcast Network.

Ronnie’s company, Learnings and Entertainment, utilizes the entertainment devices that people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives and applies it to important topics around compliance and ethics. It is not only about being funny. It is about changing the tone of your compliance communications and messaging to make your compliance program, policies, and resources more accessible.

Today Ronnie and Tom consider how Reels and Shorts can be used by compliance for great engagement and compliance communications.

In today’s digital era, the concept of utilizing social channels for communication is gaining significant momentum. Fox, a strong advocate for the use of social channels, believes in integrating elements of pop culture and millennial trends into corporate communication efforts to ensure the message is not only informative but also entertaining. Such strategies can enhance visibility, influence, and the overall effectiveness of compliance programs.

Similarly, Ronnie emphasizes the need to adapt to modern communication trends, such as the use of short, engaging videos akin to those found on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Incorporating fun and interesting videos into communication strategies can help break down barriers, increase engagement, and ultimately improve the effectiveness of compliance training and messaging.

Both these experts highlight the importance of simplifying messages, adding entertainment value, and distributing content in various places to increase visibility and influence within the organization.

Key Highlights:

  • Engaging Short Videos for Corporate Communication Strategy
  • Engaging Corporate Communications Through Multimedia Tactics
  • Engaging Compliance Programs for Organizational Influence
