Clear communication isn’t enough to drive change. People don’t adopt change simply because it makes sense, they adopt it because it feels safe and acceptable to them. So how do we make the change safe, and how do we find the acceptable outcome for our people?

The quiet assumption of “once things calm down…” shows up in conversations more often than we probably realise. The assumption that once things have stopped, we’ll reset and we’ll find our rhythm again because things will be more manageable. So then what happens if that moment doesn’t come? If the past few years have shown us anything, it’s that uncertainty isn’t a passing phase. So, this is why comms needs to change in a permanently uncertain world.

Most advocacy campaigns don’t fail because the cause isn’t worthy, but because the communication isn’t doing its job. As in: the message never quite bridges the gap between awareness and action. So, what can communicators learn from advocacy campaigns?

As AI tools become more embedded in our work, it’s tempting to focus on speed, scale and efficiency because we can generate messages faster, repurpose content instantly and push updates across multiple channels in seconds. Yet, despite all that output, many organisations still hear the same refrain in engagement surveys that communication isn’t effective. So we asked the important question: how do we make sure our comms are effective in the age of AI?

In today’s world of work, strategies refresh faster than ever because things like technology reshape roles overnight, AI rewrites how work gets done and hybrid environments continue to challenge connection and culture. The pace is relentless, and even change itself seems to be changing, leading to a lot of changes failing in the workplace. So… we tell you how change fails in the workplace and how to rethink it for success.

In our latest blog, we explore how internal communication has evolved, the myths that still limit its impact, and what organisations need to focus on next to make it truly strategic.

The stories that make messages stick in the workplace are usually the simple, familiar, and everyday experience ones. Especially in an environment where employees are navigating constant change and an increasing volume of information, because it’s this familiarity that captures attention and builds understanding. Which is why your message needs a story... and we'll tell you how to find one!

Leadership communication can make or break culture, trust and performance. In this week’s blog, we unpack nine leadership communication pet peeves we see time and time again, and more importantly, how to fix them. What’s your biggest leadership comms pet peeve?

Change is now business as usual. Which is why leading people, processes and projects through change is no longer a nice to have skill, but a necessity that is core to leadership; but what does that mean in practice? Read more on leading through change and what today’s leaders need to know and do.

No one wakes up excited to have a difficult conversation, especially when it’s things like addressing poor behaviour, responding to a crisis, or navigating a polarising issue. So… it may seem cut and dry, but, why do we avoid them? And how do we approach them in a way that protects trust, strengthens culture and actually moves things forward?

While AI won’t replace strategic communicators, it will quickly replace purely transactional comms work. So when you hear the infamous: “Will AI replace my comms job?”, it may not be an entirely unreasonable question. This blog explores just that and the impacts AI will have on your job as a communicator.
