Person Promo module
Editors use Brightspot's Person content type to provide basic information about significant people. Examples of persons include company employees, journalists, academics, and government officials.
The Person content type has its own promo, extracted from the person itself. For example, if you create a person asset for your company's product manager, you can create a promo for that person. You can encourage visitors to read and contact the person with media or sales inquiries.

Clicking a person promo displays the person's asset
