Partnering with Content Supply, they aimed to create impactful, easily digestible content tailored to varied learning styles, ultimately simplifying compliance for workers and enhancing accountability and safety for management. This collaboration was essential to HB NEXT’s mission of delivering vital, timely compliance information that empowers teams to excel in high-risk environments.
The Solution
Content Supply’s comprehensive solution for HB NEXT’s online education project was designed to elevate learning engagement and quality through expertly crafted video content. Here’s how we achieved this:
- Script Development: We initiated the project with a thorough needs assessment, allowing us to align on educational objectives with HB NEXT. From there, our team developed clear, impactful video scripts that conveyed complex safety and compliance concepts in a straightforward and accessible way, ensuring clarity for all learners.

This phase ensured each video was polished and aligned with HB NEXT’s high standards for educational quality.
The Process
To support HB NEXT’s rapid growth and evolving content needs, Content Supply delivered a fully managed, end-to-end content creation system. Here’s how the implementation unfolded in four seamless phases:
1. Discovery & Strategy Alignment
We began with in-depth discovery sessions to understand HB NEXT’s brand voice, content goals, audience, and internal bandwidth. This phase included:
- Identifying key content pillars across video, podcast, and written formats
- Clarifying the cadence and volume of deliverables needed per month
- Mapping out an editorial calendar aligned with their growth initiatives and sales cycle
This strategic foundation ensured every piece of content served a clear purpose—whether for brand awareness, lead generation, or customer education.
2. Content System Setup
Next, we built the infrastructure needed for ongoing, efficient content delivery:
- Defined workflows for idea submission, approvals, and publishing
- Set up shared cloud storage, project management systems, and intake forms
- Assigned a dedicated account manager and creative team for consistent communication and delivery
This phase enabled seamless collaboration between HB NEXT and Content Supply’s creative team.
3. Production & Post-Production
We moved into high-output production mode, handling every aspect of content creation:
- Video Production: On-location and virtual shoots for testimonials, training, brand content, and thought leadership
- Podcast Production: Full-service audio and video podcast recording, editing, and formatting for platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts
- Design & Copywriting: Creating on-brand motion graphics, thumbnails, and social media assets paired with engaging copy

The Results
Partnering with Content Supply transformed how HB NEXT creates, manages, and distributes content—resulting in measurable growth and long-term operational efficiency. Here’s what we achieved:
Consistent, High-Quality Content Output
HB NEXT went from sporadic content creation to a steady stream of professionally produced videos, podcasts, and branded assets, published weekly across platforms. This elevated their brand presence and helped them show up as an industry leader across multiple channels.
Saved 100+ Internal Hours Per Month
By outsourcing all content production to Content Supply, HB NEXT eliminated the need to juggle freelancers, manage editing timelines, or coordinate shoots internally. The result? Significant time savings for their marketing and leadership teams, allowing them to focus on strategy and growth.
Improved Engagement and Lead Quality
With targeted, story-driven content tailored to their audience, HB NEXT saw increased engagement on LinkedIn, YouTube, and across email campaigns. The consistent output also led to higher-quality leads and stronger brand trust in their sales pipeline.
Created a Content Engine for Thought Leadership
From expert-led video series to podcast interviews, we helped HB NEXT transform their internal expertise into repurposable content that drives long-term authority and SEO benefits—fueling both their inbound and outbound marketing strategies.
A Long-Term, Scalable Creative Partnership
What started as a single project quickly evolved into a long-term partnership. Content Supply became HB NEXT’s plug-and-play content team, supporting them through campaigns, internal initiatives, and new brand rollouts—without the need to build an in-house team.
How Companies Like HB NEXT Scale Faster With a Full-Service Content Creation Partner
In today’s content-driven marketplace, companies are expected to act like media brands—publishing videos, launching podcasts, and showing up consistently online. But for operations-focused businesses, content creation often falls to the bottom of the priority list.
That’s exactly where HB NEXT was before partnering with Content Supply.
As a fast-growing safety and compliance company with a powerful mission and incredible expertise, HB NEXT knew the value of content—but lacked the internal bandwidth, systems, and creative team to produce it consistently at a high level.
And they’re not alone.
The Real Challenge: Content Bottlenecks and Burnout
For B2B companies, especially in industries like construction, manufacturing, or tech, content creation tends to hit the same roadblocks:
- No in-house creative team to handle scripting, filming, editing, and publishing
- Inconsistent output, making it hard to build trust and grow a digital presence
- Marketing teams stretched thin, trying to juggle content on top of everything else
- Missed opportunities to turn internal expertise into sales and recruitment tools
- Low engagement due to static or outdated content formats
The result? A brand that’s invisible online and struggles to keep up with modern buyer expectations.
The Solution: A Plug-and-Play Creative Team That Does It All
Content Supply steps in as your full-service content creation partner—so you can look like a media company without building one internally.
We help companies like HB NEXT go from “we know we need content” to “we have a system that delivers content every week.”
