Automation doesn’t have to feel robotic. Done well, it actually makes your messages feel even more personal. Whether it’s onboarding, milestone celebrations, or recurring updates, automation frees you up to focus on storytelling and strategy instead of manual sends.

 

This quick article by Bo Breuklander highlights how tools like Journeys help internal comms teams deliver the right message to the right people at the right time, automagically. 🪄

 

Keeping employees engaged doesn’t have to mean forced fun or, "ughhh, another Zoom happy hour?" This list is packed with creative, low-lift ideas that genuinely build connection — whether your team’s in-office, hybrid, or fully remote.

 

A quick win: Host a healthy recipe swap! Invite employees to share favorite dishes, swap ideas, and vote on top picks in a designated #food Slack or Teams channel. 😋

 

We’ve said it before — internal comms and marketing are stronger together. Sitting under marketing gives internal comms access to the storytelling power, creative resources, and channel strategy that already drive external brand success. It’s also the best way to align messaging inside and out, keeping tone, visuals, and values consistent across every touchpoint.

 

This post dives into how to make that partnership thrive — from setting shared goals to protecting space for employee-focused strategy.

 

A few ideas worth stealing:

• Spotlight real employees! Share their career growth stories or day-in-the-life moments.

• Align internal + external messaging! What people see online should reflect what they feel at work.

• Make recognition public! Shoutouts and success stories show your culture in action.

• Stay authentic! Glossy marketing is forgettable... genuine voices resonate.
