Employees are overloaded, leaders expect proof of comms value, and AI is moving fast. The challenge for communicators is scaling reach and impact without losing the human touch.


Simpplr’s 2025 State of Internal Communications and Intranet Technology report shows how IC is becoming a strategic driver, while revealing the biggest challenges teams face today.


In this webinar, Ann-Marie Blake, Head of IABC’s Heads of Communication Shared Interest Group, and Rachel Tolhurst, Simpplr’s Communications & Marketing EMEA Lead, will discuss the report’s findings and what they mean for your communications strategy.


You will learn:

  • How top-performing IC teams are delivering measurable business value
  • Overcome the biggest barriers limiting effectiveness in 2025
  • The role of AI in shaping the future of communications
  • What data reveals about intranet technology’s role in today's workplace
