The Compelling Case for Being a Strategic Communicator—And How to Do It
About this Webinar
It’s time for strategic communications reset. Strategic focus is key to company success, yet half internal comms executives say they don’t operate on a strategic level to deliver their top priorities. And yet research shows strategic communicators are more influential in their organizations—and enjoy higher levels of personal wellbeing—than those who operate in advisory and supporting roles.

This session is for you if you are an internal communicator who wants to:
- Develop the skills and mindset of a strategic communicator
- Leverage measurement and analytics to showcase comms value to the executive leadership
- Learn why being a strategic communicator benefits both your career and your organization
