MC2 Engage

• London, United Kingdom

• Founder

  • Aug 2019 - Apr 2020

  I have set up MC2 to help organisations and their benefits providers energise their employee reward and recognition communications. I have over 20 years of experience working for reward and recognition service providers helping organisations' engage with their employees using award-winning communication programmes. The way employees want to receive information is now shaped by their experiences as consumers. In the same way, marketers want consumers discretionary spend, employers want their employees’ discretionary effort. However, employees want their employers to be straight with them, they want to be inspired and valued. A good reward and recognition strategy and platform is only as good as the personalised communication programme that supports it. This is where MC2 can help both platform providers and employers. By creating a communication programme of frequent, sustained, multi-channel, multi-format communication that can be measured, MC2can optimise ROI from employee benefits and reward and recognition platforms and strategies. • Research and Segmentation • Vision – Communications objectives, messaging and creative • Planning and communication deliverables – online and offline • Distribution and measurement • Events and experience days • Seminars Show less
