#IChoseIC
The IoIC is on a mission to raise awareness of internal communication as a career of choice and shift the narrative from 'I fell into IC' to 'I chose IC'.
We believe that internal communication is not only a highly rewarding and exciting profession, but one which is integral for the performance of organisations, the quality of working lives, and the success of society overall.
Through the #IChoseIC campaign, we hope to attract current and future talent to the internal communication profession and create a profession which is sustainable and fit for the future.
