The challenge

Workplace mental health content has a reputation problem. Most of it is performative — a green tile, a hashtag, and nothing that actually helps anyone. The brief here was to do something that felt real enough to matter to employees, and credible enough to matter to the HR leaders and founders Circle Health was trying to reach commercially. Those two goals had to work together, not against each other.

The approach

Instead of a campaign with a start and end date, I built a content ecosystem — one where podcasts, community sessions, reports, and social content were all connected and telling the same story from different angles. The anchor was trust: every format was built around voices the audience already respected.

What I did

Thought leadership

Two podcast formats anchored the campaign. The first brought in psychologists who shared their clinical observations on the mental health challenges leaders face at work — giving the content expert credibility. The second featured leaders who spoke openly about their own mental health struggles at different points in their careers — giving it human credibility. Together, they covered both the professional and personal dimension of the conversation, which is what made them land differently from standard awareness content. Insight reports grounded in real employee data. Founder commentary that positioned Circle Health as a genuine participant in this space, not just a brand running a seasonal campaign.

Community formats

Anonymous AMAs where employees could ask psychologists questions they wouldn't say out loud. Live webinars on burnout, stress, and boundaries. Sessions recorded and redistributed so the conversation kept going after the event ended.

Social and distribution

Short-form LinkedIn content built for reach — punchy, stat-led, easy to share. Distributed across LinkedIn, WhatsApp groups, B2B newsletters, and client Slack channels. Each piece of short-form content pointed back to the deeper work.
