Programmed ad: The Series – A Behind the Scenes Look 

Mar 26, 2025

“For We”

To wrap the second day and the entire filming, we successfully shot the final scene of the “For All Of Us” scenario for the Programmed by Persol ad, with the help of engineering superstar Sharun Benny at one of our customer’s water plant where Programmed provides infrastructure maintenance. 

Sharun, who has been involved in this contract since 2022, eagerly shared his insights on the fulfilling moments he experiences during his workday. Interestingly, Sharun once hosted a TV show back in India, showcasing his diverse talents. 

A special thank you to Kathy Hondros for participating as an extra and introducing a future ‘in the making’ Programmed employee, as well as to Trent Radburn and Bharath Kartha for their supportive roles in the background. 

Despite the sunny, windy, and dry weather, Sharun maintained his positive and determined attitude, always smiling and willing to repeat his lines until achieving the perfect shot. Truly a rockstar! With this, we conclude the scenarios and extend a heartfelt thank you to all our incredible participants for being part of this remarkable project and helping bring the Work and Smile vision to life for the world to see!

Our whys

Programmed and PERSOL understand that we are not workers. We are humans who work. And its human nature to look for joy and meaning in everything, including work. Across the many regions, cultures and services, we know that there are in essence, four whys that fulfil us at work. For Me: striving for personal success; For We: being part of a bigger team; For Us: supporting our families; and For all of Us: working for our communities that we serve.
