Poppulo is proud to once again partner with Gallagher – Employee Experience & Communication on the 2024/25 edition of its State of the Sector report. Reflecting the day-to-day realities of more than 2,000 communicators from 55 countries, this year’s research uncovers trends in AI, the purpose of IC, stakeholder relationships, channel effectiveness, and more. The overarching theme? Constant change. For the first time, the report segments data across three profiles: comms Survivors, Strivers, and Thrivers: - Survivors represent the 11% of respondents operating in difficult conditions and struggling to stay afloat - Strivers were the majority at 55%, who are building a strong foundation for growth but fall short of consistently meeting KPIs - Thrivers are the cool and confident top 34% of performers who excel at navigating the corporate landscape Read our take on the report and dive in yourself right here: https://lnkd.in/eX9V3iXt #StateOfTheSector2025 #InternalCommunication #EmployeeExperience

We were proud to host the Ministry of Testing meet-up in our Cork office this week. Tech leader Christine Pinto led the session, which focused on AI. Christine showcased how AI can act as a reliable pair programming partner for Playwright test automation. Through live demonstrations, she explored AI-powered code generation, debugging, and workflow enhancements that testers can implement immediately. As a technology leader, we’re delighted to play host to Ministry of Testing Cork, which our very own Conor Fitzgerald has been co-leading for almost eight years.
