Slack is the new HQ for internal comms 🚀

If your team lives on Slack, then your internal communications should too.

Unlike clunky email chains and ignored intranet posts, Slack:

  • Is real-time and where conversations naturally happen
  • Fosters a two-way, collaborative communication culture
  • Keeps internal and external messages cleanly separated
  • Allows targeted messaging via dedicated channels

But while Slack feels right for internal comms, actually delivering impactful, scalable communication on it can get messy fast.

The Hidden Challenges of Internal Comms on Slack 😬

Internal comms professionals often face a tricky balancing act when using Slack:

  • Lost in the feed: Important updates quickly vanish in busy channels.
  • Lack of engagement data: Beyond emojis or "👍," it's hard to know what content resonates.
  • Alignment overhead: Coordinating posts with multiple stakeholders (especially execs) is time-consuming.
  • Message fatigue: Employees tune out because comms feel irrelevant or overwhelming.

Slack isn’t built to manage an internal communications strategy—but Canopact is.
