"details": "Amanda Glaeser is a creative director and video strategist with 20 years of experience building story-driven content for dozens of global brands, including LEGO, Sundance, Subaru, National Instruments, Rev, and Bragg. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s Radio-Television-Film program with a business minor, she brings a documentary mindset to industries ranging from medtech and SaaS to CPG and nonprofit, creating high-credibility content that earns trust and drives measurable business results.\r\rHaving led productions across five continents, she brings firsthand experience navigating cross-cultural teams, compressed timelines, and high-pressure environments. Amanda specializes in translating complex ideas into clear, authoritative stories and is known for conducting natural, compelling testimonial and case study interviews with founders, executives, and subject-matter experts who insist they are “bad on video” — often with a well-timed, self-deprecating dad joke to calm nerves. She mentors creatives and marketing teams on tying their work directly to revenue and business outcomes, helping them advocate for their value, justify budgets, and increase their strategic influence with managers, clients, and stakeholders. She also advises organizations on practical phone production, responsible AI adoption, and content ownership considerations so they can scale output without sacrificing voice, credibility, or long-term brand control.\r\rShe remains especially proud of the “Make Something Out of Nothing” award, presented by the corporate marketing team of the Fortune 500 company where she worked in-house — a recognition of her ability to create measurable impact under tight timelines and limited resources",
