Communication is about being known, informing employees, adding value to a product or a brand, creating customer loyalty, attracting new customers etc. We usually talk about internal and external communication. Both are really important.

• Internal communication is about transferring information to the employees, improving the social climate inside the organisation and creating the feeling of belonging within company.
• External communication is publicizing information on a product, a brand, but also communicating with partners, suppliers, investors etc.

Communication mediums can be through media such as television, radio, internet social media, and newspaper/magazines etc., internal communication systems such as intranet and email as well as events or seminars. The message is adaptable depending on the audience target.
