Lights, Camera, Employee of the Month!
Congratulations to our June employee of the month, Art Eaton! Fun fact: Art was the June employee of the month in 2020 too. It’s no coincidence that Art was selected June of 2020 and 2021 as our Employee of the Month. Art has been working non-stop to bring all of our brands to life throughout the past year, sharing the stories of the corporate team and franchisees in order to relay our company and the strong culture we have.
Art is every bit deserving of being our June Buzzy (our Employee of the Month mascot) owner. He has taken Buzz Franchise Brands to new heights in the past year with his creative talents and vision. In the past several months, he’s become our in-house video and production all-star, creating endless content on both the consumer side and the franchise development side for all three of our brands.
The Man Behind the Camera
You may not see Art front and center in many of our videos, and that’s because he’s always hard at work behind the camera making it all happen. He has done an astounding job taking a small idea from fellow employees, and cultivating that idea into a full-blown video production. He thinks through each piece of the puzzle, from who should star as talent in the video, to the right messaging that will resonate with the audience, to the editing and putting the final product into a story to be shared with each unique audience across our brands.
Art is also a calm and steady presence, great at easing the nerves of people he’s shooting footage of just by having his relaxed demeanor around. BFB employees are often interviewed by Art, and he does a great job making people feel comfortable, like they’re just catching up with a friend. He also remains positive, and is diligent about making sure each and every project is completed with care and thoughtfulness.
Art’s coworkers have countless great things to say about working with him. "Art has been killing it across all of his video projects! He's constantly knocking out videos and making all of us (and our franchisees) look good doing it! Way to go, Art!"
Another coworker shared, “Art has been instrumental in our video production efforts for franchise development and validation. He has a great way with everyone he interacts with and is a pleasure to work with.”
We couldn’t agree more! Getting to work with Art makes the days more enjoyable. He’s got a great sense of humor and a laugh that’s contagious. If Art’s around, you’re guaranteed to have a good time.
Get to Know Art Better
Here are a few insights from Art's life to help you get to know him better:

Thank you, Art, for always empowering and serving your fellow employees and our franchisees with thought and strategy. We couldn’t make our brands come to life without you, and look forward to seeing how you continue to excel in your creativity!
