Your data protection team does excellent work. You’ve built the policies, run the assessments, and developed the training. But when you look at employee engagement, the picture is different — low intranet traffic, poor event attendance, and the same questions coming up again and again.

The problem isn’t the quality of your work. It’s that it’s not reaching people in a way that sticks.

Most data protection communication fails because it’s written by experts for experts. It uses legal language, buries the message in dense documents, and competes for attention against everything else in an employee’s inbox. The result: important information goes unread, and the culture of data protection you’re trying to build never takes root.

We fix that.

What we do #

We work alongside your data protection team as a dedicated communications partner — planning, creating, and delivering the content that keeps data protection visible, relevant, and engaging across your organisation throughout the year.

• Channel analysis and roadmapping. We analyse your available communication platforms — intranet, Teams, SharePoint, email, digital signage — and design a strategic engagement roadmap that ensures consistent, well-timed outreach across the year. No more ad hoc posts that disappear into the noise.

• Regular alignment and planning. Weekly or fortnightly calls to refine plans, approve content, and stay aligned with your evolving priorities — so the communications programme adapts as your needs change.

• Content creation and delivery. We produce the content your team needs but rarely has time to create:

  • News updates crafted with sector-specific insights and accompanied by engaging visuals.
  • Portal management — FAQs, event logs, and issue tracking on platforms like SharePoint.
  • Dynamic video content — filmed interviews and short animations that humanise your message and make data protection real for employees.
  • One-page visual explainers contextualised to specific roles and departments.

• Baseline metrics and measurement. We measure impact, track engagement, and provide monthly reporting — so you can demonstrate to leadership that your communications programme is driving real behavioural change, not just activity.

Example initiatives #

• Data Protection Day/Week/Month. We design and deliver awareness events that educate and inspire — from themed engagement weeks to company-wide interactive sessions. These work best as the launchpad for a year-round cadence, not a one-off annual event.

• Bespoke visual content. Short animations, infographics, and one-page explainers tailored to specific roles — making complex topics accessible and actionable for marketers, HR, product teams, and frontline staff.

• Interactive workshops. Full-day sessions to align teams on critical issues such as new AI and data laws, turning complex regulatory developments into clear, actionable roadmaps.

Frequently Asked Questions #

Why would I outsource data protection communications rather than doing it in-house? #

Most data protection teams are stretched thin on core compliance, advisory, and project work. Communications — writing engaging content, designing visuals, maintaining an intranet portal, planning a year-round engagement calendar — is important but rarely gets the time it deserves. We act as an extension of your team, bringing specialist communications skills so your experts can focus on the work only they can do.

What does a typical engagement look like? #

We usually start with a channel analysis and roadmap — understanding what platforms you have, what’s working, and where the gaps are. From there, we agree a cadence of content creation and regular check-ins (weekly or fortnightly). Most clients engage us on a retainer basis across the year, with increased intensity around key events like Data Protection Day or major regulatory changes.

How do you measure whether the communications are working? #

We establish baseline metrics at the start — intranet traffic, event attendance, employee survey responses, or whatever indicators are meaningful for your organisation. We then track these over time and provide monthly reporting. The goal is to show leadership measurable improvement in engagement and awareness, not just a count of posts published.

Can you work with our existing internal communications or marketing team? #

Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with internal comms, marketing, and HR teams. We bring the data protection subject matter expertise and visual content creation; they bring knowledge of internal channels, brand guidelines, and employee culture. The best results come from this kind of partnership.
