Doesn’t sound like a good social strategy...

Sadly, for most agencies that strategy's unfortunately right on point.

Wear pictures of all the laid off people in your video

Why do agencies insist on being corny and out of touch. Dance videos or like at ML, guess the baby pics , doesn’t help company culture or morale. Also, no one wants swag with the company logo. Keep your T-shirt that no one will proudly wear as anything other than a pj shirt. Give me cash or my coworkers jobs back.
