The hidden ROI of internal communications

Did you know that poor internal communication can quietly sabotage even the best campaigns?

When priorities, updates, or strategies aren’t clearly shared, teams can work at cross purposes, miss opportunities, or send mixed messages externally. 

That’s why internal communications isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a key strategy for any brand.

Why it matters

Internal communications is basically how you talk to your own team, from strategy updates and newsletters to Google messages and workshops. When it’s done haphazardly, it slows things down and causes confusion. But when it’s clear, purposeful, and consistent, it turns your whole organisation into an aligned, motivated team that’s ready to deliver great results.

It’s about making sure everyone knows the bigger picture. When teams understand the why behind their work, they become active participants in your brand, helping amplify campaigns, maintain messaging consistency, and even spot opportunities that might otherwise get missed.

What we can learn from NASA

They treat internal communication as seriously as they treat rocket science. Every team member understands their role, the mission, and how it contributes to the bigger picture. 

There’s a famous story where President Kennedy asked a janitor what he did at NASA, and the janitor replied, “I’m helping put a man on the moon”, clearly demonstrating that everyone from the bottom up understood the mission of the company. 

That’s the power of clear internal communication. Everyone, no matter their role, knows how they fit into the mission. And when everyone’s aligned like that, the results speak for themselves.

Making internal comms work for you

Good internal communication isn’t just about sending updates. It’s about making sure your team understands goals, campaigns, and brand values so they can execute confidently and consistently. Miscommunication can cost time, money and credibility, but alignment gives your brand a serious boost.

Treat internal comms like a strategic channel. Keep messages clear, measure impact, and make sure your team knows how they contribute to the bigger picture. Suddenly, what was once “just sending emails” becomes a powerful tool to make your campaigns, culture and brand stronger.

The real ROI 

Internal communications will not always be a big win for profit growth. But its value does show up in what doesn’t happen. It’s one of the only areas of business where the return is measured in problems avoided, and we think that's worth the investment in itself.
