Exploring the Convergence of Internal and External Communication

When: 16 November 2017
Presented by: Katie Macaulay and Mario Theodorou

A significant change for practitioners has been the convergence of internal and external communication, which are now forging ever-closer ties. What are the implications for communicators on both sides of the fence? Is it possible—or beneficial—to merge both disciplines? Or, are there important differences that must be understood and respected? Two experienced consultants on each of the internal/external divide explore this shift in the media landscape.
