    S2 Ep 5: Building Better Workforce Campaigns: Inside the Markstein Approach

    In this episode, we sit down with two of our own colleagues from Markstein. Chief Creative Officer Chris Hoke and Brand Director Angela Thomas give a behind-the-scenes look at how thoughtful storytelling and bold creative strategies can help organizations tackle one of today’s biggest challenges: attracting and retaining talent. As a creative communications agency focused on transforming the workforce, Markstein has partnered with multiple organizations on impactful workforce initiatives, from campaigns with the Birmingham Police Department to the collaborative Good Jobs effort. Building on conversations from our recent episodes with ReBirth Marketing and the Good Jobs Birmingham team, this discussion explores how branding, messaging, and purpose-driven communication can shape stronger workforce pipelines and why the stories organizations tell matter now more than ever.

    S2 Ep 4: Driving the Workforce Forward: Inside the Tank Truck Workforce Challenge

    Across past episodes of TalentWise, we’ve explored the workforce challenge from every angle: demographers breaking down the data, HR leaders sharing proactive strategies, mental health experts strengthening critical infrastructure, and national apprenticeship advocates building new pathways to opportunity. Now, we’re shifting gears to a part of the economy that keeps everything moving but rarely gets the spotlight: trucking — specifically tank truck transportation. This essential sector powers industries from energy to food supply, yet it faces an urgent need to attract the next generation of drivers. To unpack what’s at stake and what solutions are on the table, we’re joined by Ryan Streblow, President & CEO of National Tank Truck Carriers. His perspective connects national workforce trends to the very real operational challenges on the ground as we discuss how this story fits into the bigger workforce puzzle.
