Service
Corporate & crisis communications – external consulting.
Shape internal and external communication effectively – clear, consistent and paying into your goals.
Before
Messages fizzle out, internally and externally – a common thread and consistency are missing.
After
A clear communication line that builds trust and carries change.
Communication decides – especially in change
Corporate communications covers all forms of internal and external communication – from manager to team through to stakeholder dialogue outward. Especially in phases of transformation, uncertainty or restructuring, clarity, credibility and transparency decide success.
I support you strategically and operationally: from analysing your communication structures through the core narrative to the concrete formats – on request also as interim communications lead.
Inside and outside from one mould
Internal: town halls, intranet updates, leadership communication and change messages – so change is carried instead of breeding rumours.
External: aligned messages for your stakeholders, PR and consistent brand positioning. And when it gets serious: crisis communication from preparation to the acute situation – with a clear stance and fast action.
Guiding change confidentially and with composure
Restructuring, integrations or sensitive turning points call for particularly careful, confidential and well-aligned communication. The art is to reach every audience – leadership, committees, employees and the wider group – at the right moment, with the right messages, through the right channels.
For this I develop a robust communication framework: core messages per audience, a roadmap with phases and milestones, agreed language rules and a Q&A catalogue – and I support the roll-out closely with those responsible. This creates orientation, preserves trust and carries the process responsibly, both internally and outward.

Communication that sounds like your company — in every format.
In communications, AI makes possible what used to fail on time or budget: more formats, more languages, consistent quality. Provided someone first defines how your company sounds.
