How To Develop And Implement Compelling Content For Your Internal Communications Strategy
You’ve narrowed down the tools you want to use for your internal communications plan – that’s a great first step. Now, how do you go about creating content to utilize those tools effectively?
In this workshop, you will be guided to greater understand the ins and outs of creating compelling content for use in your internal communications. You’ll learn practical approaches and tips to developing content that grabs the attention of your audience, allowing you to not only share your message, but more importantly, to create a personal connection that opens the door to further communication. Case studies will be presented to illustrate how video content was created and implemented for internal communications purposes, and demonstrate how in some cases, this content can serve double-duty as an outward-facing strategy.
