Is Your EVP A Human Culture Contract?
Jul 15, 202640 minS3
What happens when you look past the polished corporate copy and treat your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) as a living culture ecosystem? In this episode of Blu Thread Conversations, hosts Stacy Parker and Zeeshan Merchant sit down with Kristen Cross, Head of Culture at Sun Life, to explore why modern employer branding requires "proof over poetry." In this episode, we discuss: Compass vs. Mirror: Why a great EVP should both reflect where your culture stands today and guide where it’s going tomorrow. People-Driven Messaging: Why authentic, raw employee stories earn far more trust than polished corporate messaging. Breaking the TA Silo: How to integrate your EVP across marketing, communications, and leadership development for maximum impact. The Human Value Chain: A comprehensive framework for measuring EVP success by tracking what employees say, what they do, and how it ultimately impacts the client experience.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
