The IC Crowd

The IC Crowd was where internal communicators connected, communicated & asked questions. Home of #TheBigYak. It was run by Rachel, Jenni & Dana. Ended in 2021.

Today is the final day of The IC Crowd. We’ve had a blast over the past 10 years & it’s been our pleasure to serve the internal comms community here & with The Big Yak.

This account will now be inactive but you can connect with each of us @AllthingsIC @mrsjennifield @danaleeson

@Kaz_Elgood @theICcrowd Hi Kaz, companies often use software like Slido. It helps you collate questions and they can be voted up by attendees, to gauge popularity.

Hi @theICcrowd - sad to see you go soon but a Q before you do - do you have any recommends on how to run engaging virtual all-colleague calls with a live Q&A function? Any tech you’ve used or ways you’ve seen it done brilliantly? Thanks! 😊

Today we delivered the left over swag bags from #TheBigYak to a local food bank.

All the left over swag was returned to sponsors as well so nothing wasted and everything re-used!

It was funny being at the #TheBigYak where people were talking about Channel 4 and knowing we had this episode coming out. Anyway, hope my IC crew like it @theICcrowd @ciprinside. We have the former Comms Director of Channel 4 on https://t.co/X5rC2qSYkz (I can keep secrets)

@theICcrowd - I know comms folks can hook a girl up here. I'm looking to have a small order of hoodies and badges made (we're trying to promote good writing skills among our staff). We need a quick turnaround and good quality. Any recommendations?

Was great to see so many #internalcomms pros at #TheBigYak on Saturday. Any top takeaways you would like to share?

[Internal Communications and Engagement Awards @ICE_AWARDS_]

#TheBigYak unconference from the @theICcrowd returned on Saturday 9 October, bringing communicators together to discuss hot topics in the internal comms space. Take a look at the highlights here: https://t.co/iFvvpJtoYN

#Internalcomms learning to put into practice in my work. Be brave! Experiment, test and learn: 1 hybrid events; 2 behavioural science. Improve listening. Step up to change. Have a clearer intention for line manager comms; get their input.

Thank you to the wonderful @_ICCrowd, the facilitators, sponsors and fellow IC pros for an A-MA-ZING day at #TheBigYak! My mind is fizzing at the tangible actions I can take to change and improve 😃

Reflections on #TheBigYak - sharing, openess & collaboration through & through - the IC community is fab!
We covered so much ground, it was refreshing to have rich conversations face to face - online events just aren't the same. @mrsjennifield @AllthingsIC @danaleeson thank you!

As mentioned at #TheBigYak in a few discussions about #InternalComms career development, here’s the IoIC/VMA hiring guide👇

I may not have travelled far this morning to get to the #TheBigYak but I reckon I win the prize for taking my goody bag the furthest tonight! Just touched down in Tallinn. Thanks to all the organisers, great event
