Bouygues Telecom Rallies Its Staff Around 'Cap 2030' With Alatack
TL;DR: Bouygues Telecom has partnered with agency Alatack on an internal communications campaign to rally its employees behind the 'Cap 2030' strategic plan — a reminder that the first audience for any strategy is the people who have to deliver it.
The campaign
Bouygues Telecom has worked with agency Alatack on an internal communications campaign built around its 'Cap 2030' strategic plan, according to Stratégies. The goal is to align and mobilise employees behind the company's direction for the years ahead.
It is a piece of internal, not consumer, marketing — but it is marketing all the same, applying brand and creative craft to the audience that ultimately determines whether a strategy is delivered.
Why internal comms is underrated
A strategy that lives only in a boardroom deck changes nothing. The people who serve customers, build products and answer phones are the ones who make or break 'Cap 2030', and they need to understand it, believe it and see their part in it.
Too many companies pour creativity into persuading strangers and dry memos into persuading their own staff. Treating employees with the same craft you'd give a paying audience is both rarer and more effective than it should be.
The Marketing Minute read
Investing agency-grade creativity in employee communication is a quietly smart move. Engaged, aligned staff are the cheapest, most credible brand ambassadors a company has — and disengaged ones are the most expensive liability.
There is also an external dividend. Employees talk, post and represent the brand every day; a workforce that genuinely understands and believes the strategy becomes a distributed marketing force, entirely for free.
What businesses can take from it
Give your internal audience the same creative respect as your customers. A strategy people can feel and repeat is far more likely to be delivered than one buried in a slide deck.
And remember the multiplier: every engaged employee is a credible advocate to friends, family and customers. Internal comms is external marketing in disguise.
