Inspired by our last #EngagewithImpact Lisbon meetup of social impact communications leaders, we're meeting again on Dec. 2nd!
The theme this time is AI. I'll be asking this question: "What's one way that AI is transforming your work"?
If you're in Lisbon, get in touch if you would like to attend!
Comms teams are underfunded and overworked. We're constantly asked to do more with less. Yet what's the solution?
Leverage employee advocacy & storytelling, create templates & checklists everyone can use, and explore ways AI can automate busy work (without sacrificing quality).

Better internal coordination, proactive storytelling, and increased engagement... These are some of the comms challenges we discussed in a recent @apolitical.bsky.social webinar.
We all agreed: it’s not about being everywhere. It’s about being impactful where it counts! 🎯
