CASE STUDIES
Every organization below came to us with a version of the challenges you just read and left with a solution built entirely around their people, their culture, and their specific situation.
widespread platform adoption across all frontline employees.
of employees actively using the new digital platform every month.
The company had a culture to be proud of, but their communication was fragmented and inconsistent.
The result was a workforce that was deeply committed to the brand but completely disconnected from the conversation and often the last to know about important updates.
Over 16,000 associates had no company email address, meaning they relied entirely on paper posters or word-of-mouth from managers.
Without an official channel, teams used personal WhatsApp and text groups to share and receive updates, which put company data and privacy at risk.
There was no way for frontline workers to share feedback or ideas upward, making them feel disconnected from the brand’s mission.
To solve this, we moved away from traditional desktop tools and selected Workvivo because its mobile-first design could create both structure and community.
The goal was to give employees a functional tool they actually needed for their daily work, and to create a living, breathing digital space that reflected who their people already were.
We launched a platform that employees can access on their personal phones without needing a corporate email or login.
We put pay stubs, shift schedules, and HR resources all in one place, giving employees a practical reason to check the app every day.
We created dedicated digital areas for each theatre location so teams could communicate locally while still seeing national company news.
The shift was immediate.
By providing a tool that made their jobs easier, the platform became a central part of the theatre culture rather than just another corporate requirement.
The company achieved 89% platform adoption and a 75%+ monthly active user rate from a previously unreachable workforce.
Secure, branded messaging replaced "off-the-grid" texting, bringing all team coordination back into a secure environment.
The most common message sent on the platform became "Open the door, I'm here," showing that employees finally felt they had a direct key to their workplace.

communicatio, replacing one-way email blasts with real-time reactions, comments, and direct employee dialogue.
For years, global communication was held together by an endless stream of email, the ultimate black hole for engagement.
In a rapidly expanding market, leaders were becoming distant figures rather than accessible guides for their teams.
Important leadership messages were buried in overflowing inboxes, and there was no way to tell if they were actually being read.
Differences in time zones and cultures made it difficult for the Americas, Europe, and Asia to feel like they were part of the same company.
Communication was top-down and formal, leaving no room for employees to ask questions or engage with leadership in a meaningful way.
We acted as an extension of their internal team to execute a staggered global launch and expansion.
The focus was on changing leadership behaviour just as much as setting up the technology.
We onboarded 10,000 employees at launch, then scaled to 35,000+ through a coordinated rollout across different teams, time zones, and languages, including a major expansion into Japan.
We coached executives on how to move out of their inboxes and engage directly with employee posts and comments to show they were listening.
We implemented auto-translation tools so a leader in New York could post a message and an employee in Tokyo could read and reply in their own language.
By moving the conversation into an open space, leadership visibility transformed from a newsletter into a daily presence.
The metrics proved that employees were hungry for this connection.
Within the first month of launch, 80% of employees had activated their accounts in the new platform, more reach than years of email newsletters ever achieved.
Leaders can now use real-time analytics to see exactly which messages are resonating and where they need to provide more clarity.
A new culture of digital shout-outs allowed employees to receive public recognition from global leaders for the first time.

sustained engagement rate by focusing on human-led
adoption.
customized branding, shaped by employee input to create a platform that looks and feels uniquely theirs.
The company had a history of adding new tools that employees simply didn't use.
Over time, this created a "check-out" culture where people ignored official channels because they were too hard to navigate.
Employees were overwhelmed by a mix of SharePoint sites, Slack channels, and Google Chat groups, with no clear starting point for their day.
Because official channels were filled with notification noise and outdated info, employees stopped checking them entirely.
Previous software rollouts were seen as IT projects rather than helpful tools, leading to poor adoption and wasted budget.
We didn't just turn on a new piece of software; we built an adoption strategy rooted in shared ownership.
We wanted the employees to feel like the platform was built by them, not just for them.
We encouraged the employees to name and brand the platform themselves, which helped them feel a sense of ownership from the very beginning.
We ensured every digital space was filled with high-value, relevant content before the launch so the platform felt useful the moment they logged in.
We trained a diverse group of advocates across the company to answer questions and drive excitement among their own peers.
Adoption didn't just spike at launch; it became a permanent part of how the company functions.
By focusing on the human side of change, we ensured the new technology was embraced for the long term.
Engagement remained high long after the launch because the platform provided actual value to the employees' daily routines.
By consolidating redundant tools and shadow channels, we simplified the tech stack and made it easier for people to find what matters.
The internal comms team now spends less time pushing content and more time managing a self-sustaining, active community.

or less for any employee to find essential company information.
For years, employees lived with the same daily frustration: they knew the information existed, but they had no idea where to find it.
This lack of organization was hurting both productivity and trust.
Employees spent hours every week hunting for basic forms and policies across outdated sites and duplicate folders.
A decade-old intranet filled with broken links meant that even when employees found an answer, they didn't trust that it was still accurate.
HR and Operations were buried under a mountain of repeat questions that should have been easily answered through self-service.
We reimagined the entire digital experience by focusing on curating, not migrating.
We didn't want to move the old mess into a new tool; we wanted to build a single source of truth.
We refused to move legacy clutter. Every page was reviewed to ensure it was currently accurate and helpful for an employee's daily job.
We created simple templates that allowed department heads to update their own info in minutes, removing the need to wait on IT for every small change.
We established a digital front door where any essential policy or tool is never more than two clicks away from the homepage.
The result was a shift from confusion to confidence.
Employees stopped guessing and started using the central hub as their primary resource for everything they needed to do their jobs.
Search time dropped significantly, restoring thousands of hours of productivity across the global workforce.
HR and Operations saw a massive reduction in manual inquiries, allowing them to focus on high-value strategic work instead.
The "Where do I find this?" loop has been broken because employees now know the platform is the final, accurate word on company information.

“We’ve been so happy with our partnership with LineZero, they truly feel like an extension of our own team [...] What’s been fantastic is that they understand our culture and comms, and have taken the time to really get to know our people.”
Adam Murphy Director of People Analytics & Systems, AMC Theatres
“LineZero really worked with us to prepare for the [Workvivo] launch. One key thing was looking at other organizations of a similar size and seeing similar case studies from LineZero’s work. I mean, if we had been advocating for ourselves without ever having implemented [Workvivo], I don’t think we would have been in the same position we were in with the support of experts and consultants like the LineZero team.”
Jennifer Shah Vice President of Communications, TELUS

FAQs
Do you still have questions about building or improving
your internal communications strategy?
An internal communications strategy is a structured plan that defines how information flows within an organization — from leadership to employees, across teams, and bottom-up.
It outlines what to communicate, who communicates it, which channels to use, how often, and how to measure effectiveness.
Unlike a one-off internal communications plan, a strategy is ongoing and adaptive, designed to align employees with business goals, reinforce culture, and support a positive employee experience.
Without a documented internal communications strategy, organizations risk inconsistent messaging, disengaged employees, and poor adoption of change initiatives.
A clear strategy ensures employees receive timely, relevant information through the right channels, building trust, reducing uncertainty, and connecting day-to-day communication to broader business objectives.
A well-built internal communications strategy typically includes:
Audience segmentation: Understanding who needs what information (executives, managers, frontline workers, remote employees).
Communication objectives: What you're trying to achieve (awareness, alignment, engagement, behaviour change).
Channel mix: Selecting the right tools for the right messages (intranet, email, Zoom, Workvivo, digital signage, town halls).
Content cadence: How often to communicate and at what rhythm.
Tone and voice: Ensuring messaging reflects your organizational culture.
Two-way communication: Building in feedback loops, surveys, and open dialogue.
Measurement framework: Defining KPIs and tracking effectiveness over time.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they serve different purposes.
An internal communications strategy is the long-term, organization-wide approach. It defines your philosophy, goals, audiences, channels, and success metrics.
An internal communications plan is more tactical. It outlines specific messages, timelines, and owners for a particular initiative or campaign (like a product launch, organizational change, or open enrollment).
Think of the strategy as the foundation and the plan as what you build on top of it.
Building an internal communications strategy typically follows these steps:
Audit your current state: What's working? What isn't? Where are the gaps?
Define your goals: Align communication objectives with business priorities.
Know your audiences: Segment employees by role, location, team, and communication needs.
Map your channels: Identify what tools you have and which are best suited for each type of message.
Develop a content framework: Decide on recurring formats, ownership, and approval workflows.
Enable your managers: Manager communications is one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) levers in any strategy.
Measure and iterate: Set baseline metrics and review regularly.
The most effective internal communications strategies prioritize two-way dialogue over one-way broadcasting, segment messages so employees only receive content relevant to them, and use a multi-channel approach that reaches both desk-based and frontline workers.
They position senior leaders as visible, authentic communicators, maintain a consistent publishing cadence, create structured feedback loops, and continuously measure results and adjust based on employee input.
Let’s build a workplace where your people feel recognized, connected, and inspired to do their best work.
