Internal communications

Bring your people
on your journey.

We help clients engage their people. We create meaningful and
compelling internal communications strategies and campaigns
that drive employee engagement and create a sense of purpose –
helping you to help your people make positive change happen.

What we do.

  • Understand where you are
  • Strategically aligning your brand, values and culture
  • Bringing your internal communications strategy to life

Understand where you are

We begin by talking to your people. We explore their views on your culture and values, and unpick what they want and need from your internal communications.

Alongside this, we carry out a comprehensive review of your internal communications function and activity.

By bringing the two together we’ll have a clear picture of where you are now, mapped against where you, and your people, want to get to.

 

Strategically aligning your brand, values and culture

We’ll then turn that picture into an internal communications strategy that aligns with your brand values, underpinned by clear and concise messaging that resonates with your people and leaves them feeling valued, engaged and bought into your brand purpose.

Bringing your internal communications strategy to life

Our creative and digital marketing teams then work to creatively bring your story to life. From a change in the drumbeat of your internal communications activity to focused awareness-raising campaigns, our team will create the impactful content you need to connect with and engage your people.
