We are distracted, dividing our attention across different devices and demands. And that’s just in our downtime. At work, it’s even fiercer. People, projects and platforms jockey for position in the growing battle between urgent vs important.
For the internal communicator, cut- through is a challenge. But, out of all the noise comes an exciting opportunity to rethink our approach to content.
As consumers, we think in brands. We consume BBC News on TV, on our phones, on Twitter and via news alerts. We read our favourite magazine on paper, on the web and on Instagram. We look for the brand, not the channel. And we love choice. Sometimes a quick video clip, sometimes a long-form article: we’re demanding, we want our content when we want it, in a package that speaks to us.
Our audiences are varied, with people of different academic, linguistic and physical abilities. They’re neuro diverse, they’re motivated in a range of ways – and tailoring messages can help them land for everyone.
So, how can IC teams move with the times – and audience demands – to build their own internal brand that, much like a mosaic, brings each individual piece of content together to build a bigger picture?
Join senior writers Elle-Bradley Cox and Jacey Lamerton and special guest Chris Maloney, content and channels manager at Rolls-Royce as they explore why when it comes to content, sometimes we need to break it up to break through.
