Who you'd be working with

People-first marketing wins.

Put a light on someone who genuinely loves their job and you catch magic in a bottle. Our craft is serving it to the audience you need to reach.

Who

ARK Media, a creative studio led by founder Adam Kravitz, creative director and Cannes Gold Lion winner, with a small senior crew of videographers and editors whose collective work spans Marriott International, Dropbox, Toyota, The North Face and Rivian.

What

Employer brand storytelling. Real employees on camera, proud of the work, cut into content that recruits.

How

Sit-down interviews and b-roll of the actual job, finished as ads and organic posts. Measured in applications started and roles filled.

02
The discipline

What employer branding is.

Employer branding is the ecosystem of content that shows the world your company is a great place to work, built mostly on employee advocacy: real people, on camera, talking about their work and why it matters to them.

What it builds

Awareness of D&H as an employer of choice: the company candidates already know before a recruiter ever calls.

What it converts

Job seekers into applicants. Organic content earns the attention; targeted promotion lands the right story on the right candidate while they're looking.

The live count across D&H's two career portals this week. Every opening is a story going untold. This work sits beside consumer marketing and talent acquisition, and it feeds both.

The homework

What we see at D&H.

Company Updates8 to 11 reactions. A format to evolve: the people closest to the products, talking about the products.

The Co-President sketches are great. Keep them coming. Now give that same spotlight to the co-owners: the regular employees who own a piece of this company and have never been handed the mic.

Hiring snapshot: where the openings actually are

Pulled live from D&H's career portals, Aug 16, 2026

Corporate portal shown below. Warehouse hiring runs on its own portal, largely through evergreen postings, and gets its own section next.

Read no. 1

Corporate hiring is a sales engine. Four in ten corporate openings are sales roles. Interview your sales superstars about why they love the work: their passion and wisdom recruit the next class, and the feature itself celebrates them on brand channels.

Read no. 2

The warehouse tells on itself. Middletown's Warehouse Worker posting has been open since October 2024, and a Quality & Training role is open at all five distribution centers.

Read no. 3

Five sites, one network. Content built once travels to Middletown, Whiteland, Newnan, Fresno and Mississauga.

Read no. 4

You're already investing. A Social Media Specialist req has been open since April; we'd hand that hire a running machine.

04
The priority

The warehouse comes first.

Job boards won't fix forty percent turnover. The people who stayed can: the rising stars and the fifteen-year vets your supervisors would name in a heartbeat.

The bread and butter: individual stories

One co-owner at a time, on camera, telling their story from the floor they work on. The people who stayed and moved up are living proof of the pitch, and they tell it better than any brand voice could.

Each story becomes recruitment ads and organic posts aimed at the exact roles you need filled. Rinse and repeat, story after story, site after site.

On the shelf for later

  • The circle conversationA handful of co-owners, one question at a time, cut a hundred ways. A bigger production that deserves real planning once the first stories land.
  • The award ceremonyYour year-end awards gather the best people from every site in one room. One crew and one evening yields a year of celebration content.
Included before we shoot

Know the audience first.

Who takes this job

The warehouse workforce in your five markets, and which local employers compete for the same hands.

What they weigh

Pay, schedule, a path up, and whether anyone notices the work.

Where they look

The channels that actually reach hourly candidates, from job boards to local social.

Why they stay

Straight from the interviews: what kept your best people becomes the message we lead with.

Proof it works

The reference reel: frontline hiring
The reference reel: founder-led & employee-owned
The reference reel: the fun ones

Every reference film is another brand's work, grouped by what it proves. Frontline: DHL profiles one warehouse colleague at a time, the very format we'd run at D&H. Founder-led: Publix, the largest employee-owned company in America, shows how an ESOP tells its story, and Grainger shares your industry. The fun ones: Deloitte lets employees write and star in their own recruiting films (a mechanic built for a company whose Co-Presidents already do sketch comedy), while Fiverr roasts every stock-footage recruitment video ever made.

Where we start

A first shoot, built to be easy to say yes to.

01

Point us at your people

A short alignment call with marketing, and supervisor picks from the floor. We handle the rest, from prep to run of show.

02

The shoot

We come to Harrisburg. A stop at HQ for leadership sit-downs, then straight to the warehouse for co-owner stories. Small crew, small footprint.

03

The work

Finished recruitment ads plus organic cuts, pre-production included. D&H covers crew travel, and if the work earns it, we talk about what a year looks like.

The platform

One banner over all of it.

#CoOwnerStories The Co-Owner's Manual

A named campaign turns the first shoot into a franchise: a recognizable series your people ask to be part of and your recruiters link in every outreach. The name is already in the building. Nobody else in tech distribution can say co-owner and mean it literally.

For the first conversation

Questions we'd bring to your team.

  1. How does warehouse recruiting run today: channels, budget, staffing partners, referral programs?
  2. What's the offer on the floor: pay bands, shifts, flexibility, the path from picker to lead?
  3. What does retention data say about who stays and why?
  4. How is the co-owner story told to candidates today, and how do you want it brought to life?
  5. What's already planned for social this year, so we add instead of duplicate?
Your people already own the company.
Let's put them on camera.
