Stuart Symons is not only fine chap and exceedingly handsome (but not as handsome as me), but he also is a fine communicator.
Therefore I took over the Santos boardroom and interviewed him for over an hour, grilling him to exhaustion and tears over the intricacies of internal communications at a major Australian company.
Along the way you’ll get to hear Stuart’s views on internal comms, where they fit into the total comms matrix, why print won’t die, the challenge of branding within internal comms, who Santos is, what resources any communicator can and should tap into, and what advice he would give to a student of employee communications and those interested in the art and science of internal comms.
A fascinating interview and a must-listen-to with pen and paper with which to take notes.
One hour and seventeen minutes crammed full of insight and wisdom.

Disclaimer: this interview was originally recorded for Ross Monaghan’s MediaPod podcast site and so is geared towards the tertiary PR/journalism student, however it has so many pearls of wisdom that I feel it suitable for every communicator. It will appear on the mediapod site next week.
