Turning colleagues into product influencers.

Beko’s showroom training stopped overnight in the pandemic. As consultant and trainer, I helped turn colleague “Grundig Gurus” into on-camera product influencers for an audience of 2,000+.

↳ The brief

What they came in with.

Pre-pandemic, Beko relied on in-person showroom training to get product knowledge into thousands of retail colleagues. When lockdown hit, that channel vanished overnight — and straight-to-camera product videos weren’t cutting through.

They needed product confidence spread across a large, distributed retail workforce, fast, with no way to gather anyone in a room.

↳ The move

What I did.

We turned the colleagues themselves into the channel. A small group of ten enthusiastic staff — the “Grundig Gurus” — were upskilled in social-style influencing and content creation, then set loose to make short, genuine, product-led videos for their peers.

My role spanned consulting on the approach, training and enabling the Gurus, and running the programme day to day. The learning was bite-sized and social — something colleagues would actually watch on a break — and built as a habit loop, not a one-off push.

↳ The result

What changed.
