Contented

When Hannah left her career in HR to found a business, people told her she was crazy. In an interview with Zahra Shahtahmasebi at Idealog she shared how she got asked: "Are you mad? Why would you do that?" It felt like a huge risk. But she believed in it so much. Then she met Lucy, and the rest is Contented. 🔗 Read more about how Han thinks we could encourage more young women in be entreprenuers, in the article below. ▶️ Or watch how Contented came to be.

It feels amazing to be called a "co-worker" (not to be confused with a co-pilot). Digital Influence is a 23-person agency in Christchurch, working with retail, beauty, trades, and hospitality clients to grow their businesses through visibility and leads. Their work is fast, client-facing, and built on productive conversations. Contented is on for every meeting, internal and external. It's not a tool, it's an active participant in the team's work, handling the administrative load of meetings so they can stay focused and present. "It's like having an extra co-worker in the background who's doing all your meeting notes and follow-up, so you can focus on other things," Account coordinator Isabella D. says. "It removes so many steps we needed to take. It does it all for us." See more about how we work with creative and digital agencies 👇

Contented was founded in Christchurch by Lucy Pink and Hannah Hard-Jones, based on their belief that conversations are the most underutilised resource in the world. It turns recorded meetings into business-ready documents and insights, and is now trusted by 400+ organisations globally. Those companies collectively produce more than 16,000 documents a month, capturing millions of minutes of conversations.

Before Contented, Duncan Cotterill's approach to meeting documentation was standard for the sector; a mix of transcription tools, dictaphones and manual note-taking. Contented has transformed this process, and the benefits extend well beyond the end of the meeting. Structured, custom outputs are ready in moments. They're more comprehensive and accurate than manual note-taking produced, meaning the team's focus is now fully on delivering great client solutions, not documenting them.

One of the coolest use cases for Contented ever - the U21 Paddle Ferns! This incredible squad is heading to the World Championships and taking Contented with them. When you're standing on a pontoon in a lake, a laptop isn’t a realistic option. Neither is a pen and paper. For the coaching staff of the U21 Paddle Ferns, that practical reality made Contented the perfect tool. Coaching canoe polo - like many high-performance sports - means analysing every moment. It's a game of 10-minute halves, and looking down to scribble a note means missing something else. Assistant coach Bede Skinner-Vennell and head coach Kate Blincoe clip on a microphone, hit record with the Contented mobile app, and capture every second. "We're able to give [the team] way, way better feedback with Contented," Bede says. "It's not just the macro team stuff. We're able to give players individual feedback and specifics on what to work on." We're so proud to support these talented young women. We'll be cheering virtually from NZ and from the sideline via Bede's recordings. GO KIWIS!!!!
