Your company sends a weekly update email. Open rate: 34%. Your CEO writes a quarterly letter. Read rate: maybe 20%. The product team publishes release notes. Engineering posts a postmortem. HR announces a new policy.
All of it goes unread. Not because employees don’t care — because they’re busy doing their actual jobs.
Internal communications has a dirty secret: the open rate on internal emails is lower than marketing spam. And “opened” doesn’t mean “read.” Your employees skim the subject line, maybe read the first paragraph, and archive.
The result: information asymmetry WITHIN your own company. The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand announced last Tuesday.
Turn internal communications into a daily or weekly podcast using audiclip’s underlying technology.
What goes in:
What comes out: A 15-20 minute podcast two AI hosts discuss conversationally. Employees listen during their commute, morning coffee, or lunch walk.
| Metric | Email Newsletter | Internal Podcast |
|---|---|---|
| Open/listen rate | 34% | 60-70% (podcast listeners tend to finish) |
| Completion rate | ~15% (most skim) | ~85% (podcast is finite, two hosts engage) |
| Time required from employees | Dedicated reading (competes with work) | Dead time (commute, walk — doesn’t compete) |
| Cross-language | One language per email | 100+ languages per episode |
Your Tokyo office doesn’t read the English all-hands recap. Your Berlin team skims it. Your São Paulo team translates the key points in Slack.
With cross-language audio: same podcast, every employee listens in their language. The CEO’s quarterly update reaches everyone — in Japanese, German, Portuguese, and 100+ other languages.
Financial services, healthcare, and regulated industries have mandatory communications that employees MUST acknowledge. An audio version doesn’t replace the compliance checkbox — but it dramatically increases the chance employees actually absorb the content.
If nobody reads the memo, it wasn’t communicated. Make it listenable.
