On this episode of ICology, listen to Edward Ford from Verizon about their internal video news program they produce on a daily basis. Edward is the enterprise community manager at Verizon's headquarters in Baskin Ridge, NJ.

He's one of four communicators who hosts the daily program called "Up To Speed." Edward shares their process for creating the videos, how they select the news items featured and who gets to be on the daily video.

The focus for Verizon was to create content in a new way for employees who can be "up to speed" with corporate content in just a few minutes. It's a great lesson for other communicators who looking to create snackable content for employees who are on the go and desk-based.

Think Tank - Recognition, Culture and Internal Communication

In this episode of ICology, I talk with Jenni Field, Director at Redefining Communications, and Benjamin Ellis, CEO of SocialOptic, about 2019 research they conducted into remote workers and internal communication. The two of them combined their superpowers to unearth some new data on what employees are interested in and who they are interested in hearing it from.

Are employees even "remotely" interested in employee communications?

This wasn't exactly what I planned with the new Think Tank episodes but I went with it anyway. Today's "Wayfair Walkout" should be watched closely by internal communicators. Could something like this happen at your business? Absolutely. So what will you do when it happens? That's what you need to answer. Listen to my take on what internal communicators should be doing in case you have your own #wayfairwalkout. 

Think Tank - The Wayfair Walkout's impact on internal communication

Pinaki Kathiari has become a true friend to the internal communications industry. And I'm proud to have him on ICology to talk about the challenges and opportunities of co-creation in internal communication. What is co-creation? Listen to the episode and find out how it can help communicators across industries and seniority levels. Pinaki is also once again a workshop leader at PRSA Connect this year. At last year's conference, his workshop was the highest-rated session from the entire event. And I expect nothing short of that again this year.
