Cost: Free!
Bell Pottinger, 6th Floor, Holborn Gate, 26 Southampton Buildings, London, WC2A 1PB

Organisations are prioritising internal comms today more than ever before. The combination of  difficult economic times, the challenges of today’s society and the requirement for firms to retain good people means that companies need to engage with their employees.

But what effect has social media and digital media channels had on this important and growing area of communications? PRmoment explores these issues and more at our Internal Comms: The race for digital engagement seminar.

For the full speaker line up, please see the timetable beneath the booking form.

We're sorry but no PR agencies or students for this one, in house communicators only.
