Internal Communications

Most organisations have internal communications. Far fewer have internal communications that people actually look forward to. When content feels corporate, repetitive or disconnected from employees' day-to-day reality, people stop reading. And when people stop reading, the business loses one of its most important tools for building culture, driving alignment and managing change. 

Internal communications was where I started and where my passion has always been strongest. At Avanade I completely overhauled the editorial approach across a global workforce that grew from 10,000 to 60,000 employees during my time there. That meant moving away from dry corporate updates towards content people genuinely wanted to engage with: themed newsletters, seasonal storytelling moments, fiscal year highlights and creative hooks that made internal news feel worth reading. I also launched and ran a highly successful global innovation contest that generated real energy and participation across the business, and developed a gamified app to support a major change programme, making what could have been a dry process genuinely involving for employees.
