I’m mid-career and hoping to make a pivot to internal comms. I’m currently working in-house but the vast majority of my experience is at agency with very little internal comms experience. Other than finding opportunities in my current role to gain experience, what can I do to gain experience or expertise to make me desirable for an internal comms-focused role?

I’d also do some self-led research on change management. The Comms part is fluid from external to internal but that’s what differentiates IMO.

I pivoted from pr to internal comms. Both are rooted in good storytelling so I’m sure you have the skills. To build your portfolio consider offering to lead an internal comms project for a local biz or org that needs support in that area
