Unily, the employee experience technology provider, has been recognized by ClearBox Consulting for Content Studio by Unily, an AI-powered content creation tool designed to help organizations transform trusted workplace information into podcasts, videos and infographics.

Internal communications teams are producing more information than ever, but employee attention remains limited. Content Studio by Unily helps bridge that gap, enabling teams to transform trusted communications into podcasts, videos, infographics and other formats that give important information more opportunities to reach and resonate with employees.

Transforming trusted content

Content Studio starts with trusted source material and enables creators to transform it into different content “Expressions”, including podcasts, videos and infographics, while maintaining visibility and control over the sources, facts and intent informing the output. Crucially, that relationship continues after creation: when source information changes, teams can see which Expressions may be affected and efficiently update them to keep content aligned with the latest approved information.

In its independent review, ClearBox points to this source-led approach as one of Content Studio’s strengths, highlighting the value of using selected source material to create outputs rather than relying on unrestricted AI generation.

For communications teams, the approach means a single approved message can be given more opportunities to reach employees without rebuilding the content from scratch. A leadership update, for example, could become a podcast for employees catching up on the move, an infographic providing a concise visual overview, or a video bringing an important announcement to life. Content Studio’s positioning specifically targets this challenge: helping teams improve communication effectiveness rather than simply increasing the volume of content available to employees.

Reducing the production burden on communications teams

ClearBox also identifies the potential for Content Studio to reduce the production barriers traditionally associated with multimedia communications. Creating videos, podcasts and professionally designed visual communications can require specialist skills and significant production resource. Content Studio enables non-specialists to create branded content from trusted source material using natural-language instructions and reusable standards.

Early customer examples demonstrate the opportunity. During the preview program, Velcro Companies reduced the time required to create an infographic from approximately 60 minutes to three minutes, enabling communications assets to be produced around 20 times faster. Arc’teryx also explored using Content Studio to turn a month’s worth of communications into a single catch-up podcast, giving employees another way to stay informed without needing to work through every individual update.

Creating more formats without creating more noise

The ClearBox review also raises an important consideration for Internal Communications teams: making multimedia content easier to produce does not remove the need for good communication strategy. Employee attention remains finite. Giving communicators new ways to adapt content therefore needs to be balanced with decisions about which information warrants attention, which audiences need it and which format is appropriate. That principle guides Content Studio; the aim is not simply to create more content faster, but to give critical information a better opportunity to be encountered, understood and acted upon.

Standalone value, with a connected Unily experience

Content Studio is a standalone product, meaning organizations do not need to use the Unily Employee Experience Platform to take advantage of its content transformation capabilities. When connected with Unily, its value can extend from governed content sourcing through creation into delivery and measurement across the employee experience.

This creates the potential for a more connected communications workflow: starting with information an organization trusts, adapting it for different audiences and moments, and ultimately delivering it through employee experiences.

Closing the Content Impact Gap

For Internal Communications teams facing growing demands but limited time and resources, the opportunity is not to fill channels with more material. It is to get greater value from the communications they have already invested in creating. Content Studio brings AI-powered creation together with trusted sources, creator control and workplace communication use cases, helping organizations turn existing information into experiences employees have more opportunities to engage with.

Content Studio entered Early Access following its announcement at Unite 2026.
