The Community Studio

Amplifying Employee Voices for Connection & Engagement

The Community Studio reimagines internal communication through Audio, shaped by the voices of the entire organization.

...

Beyond the internal communication clutter

Your employees are inundated with information.
Emails, intranet posts and town halls compete for attention - but real connection is still missing.
As leaders, managers, HR, and communication professionals, you strive to inform, align, and mobilize your teams.
Silos remain, opportunities are lost, and change moves too slowly.
Engagement suffers, trust erodes, and your organization's potential stays out of reach.

We leverage Audio to build connections across your organization

The Community Studio empowers companies to mobilize voices, connect teams, and reinforce alignment in times of change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not sure why audio is right for you? Start here.

That's exactly when audio makes the most sense. A strong culture deserves to be heard, literally. Internal podcasts and radio streams don't replace what you already have - they amplify it.

With audio, your values, leadership voices, and success stories travel further and stick better. People hear tone, emotion, and authenticity in ways written channels can't deliver. Even in companies with excellent culture, audio strengthens the sense of belonging by giving employees a direct, human connection to the organisation's heartbeat.

In short: audio doesn't fix a weak culture, it multiplies the impact of a good one. It ensures that your culture is not just documented, but experienced and shared across teams, locations, and even time zones.
Yes - that's one of Audio's biggest strengths. It can be accessed anywhere: on a smartphone, through a shared device in the break room, or even via offline downloads for people in the field.

For many frontline workers, audio is the first channel they'll actually use consistently, because it fits naturally into their day without forcing them to stop what they're doing. This makes audio an inclusive communication tool that bridges the gap between HQ and the field.
Audio is actually one of the least disruptive formats for internal communication because it doesn't demand full visual attention the way email, chat, or video does. Employees can listen while commuting, walking between meetings, or doing routine tasks that don't require deep concentration.

In fact, many companies find that audio reduces distraction, because important messages are easier to remember when delivered in a human voice, compared to reading through long text communications that often get skimmed or ignored.

Because people can either listen to the audio content live, or on-demand (podcast format), audio gives staff the freedom to consume internal messages on their own terms.
Audio is very easy to track through clear engagement metrics: number of listeners, average listening time, and completion rates. In most corporate pilots, we see completion rates above 70%, which is significantly higher than the average engagement for internal newsletters (typically below 25%).

Audio also performs better than video in many contexts, since employees can listen while multitasking, which drives higher total reach and more consistent consumption. For example, a 10-minute podcast episode is more likely to be fully consumed than a 10-minute internal video.

We can also combine these hard numbers with quick employee feedback surveys. The result: leadership gains both quantitative insights and qualitative feedback, ensuring the channel isn't just "used" but actually understood and valued.
The best internal audio mixes leadership messages with employee voices. Alongside executive updates, you can share team success stories, interviews with employees, peer-to-peer tips, or even crowdsourced playlists. This way, audio becomes a living channel where everyone can be heard - not just management.

The format itself helps: hearing colleagues' voices creates authenticity and builds trust. Rather than a one-way broadcast, audio can evolve into a true conversation that reflects the whole organisation.
