Zest

Zest is a French HR software company that helps companies measure employee engagement and social climate. I worked for them as a freelancer in two separate engagements, in 2023 and 2026. The search and AI-answer work was two projects, the pillar page rebuild and the ROI calculator. The 2023 work was audience and messaging research.
