Corporate Communication


What is corporate communication?

Corporate communication is the creation, cultivation, maintenance and distribution of your corporate identity, messaging and brand image. It involves coordinating and overseeing your organisation’s internal and external communications to establish and sustain a positive view of your business and brand – for your employees, consumers, the media, shareholders and other stakeholders. Through corporate communication, organisations can explain their values and vision, and establish and affirm their credibility.

Corporate communication encompasses a number of elements, including:

  • corporate branding
  • corporate responsibility
  • crisis communications
  • internal communications
  • investor relations
  • public relations and media relations.

Why is corporate communication important?

The benefits of a strong corporate communication program are many. Good corporate communication empowers you to:

  • promote your organisation
  • distinguish your business and brand from others in a competitive market
  • make intelligent decisions concerning communications
  • foster internal support for your company vision and goals
  • cultivate customer loyalty and a positive association with your brand, products and services
  • assure shareholders of the solidity of your leadership and profitability.

To strengthen your corporate communications efforts and your standing in the market, it’s important to closely examine what your competition and other organisations are doing. It’s also essential to proactively stay abreast of industry news and market trends.
