"Lots of workable tools which are really helping me in my mission to change the face of internal communications in my organisation."

Chris Jenkins, Internal Communications Group, DVLA

Dorothy Mathew, Wal Mart

 

 

"A genuinely worthwhile event that has my mind ticking over and my creative juices flowing!"

Karlene Sargent, Shell International

Sponsoring or exhibiting at a Melcrum event is the best way to meet and interact with your current and future clients. Our delegates are top-level decision-makers from international organisations passionate about the role of communication. Sponsor a Melcrum event and reach them before your competition does!


"Over the years, we have found Melcrum's events to be excellent networking and business development opportunities for Yellow Communications. Melcrum's events attract a consistently high quality of delegates: experienced practitioners and decision makers from a wide range of industries, who are encouraged to meet with sponsors and exhibitors. The onsite Melcrum team are always professional and willing to help with anything from finding an elusive delegate to helping pack up the stand!"
Jeremy Petty, Managing Director – UK & Europe, Yellow Communications

 

"We have a strong association with Melcrum.  What we like about them, is that they're all about giving Internal Communicators more of a voice and more authority; helping them put their case to senior management for the very real business benefits of doing things properly.  And that ties in very closely with what we do at The Edge."
Pete Stevenson, Director, The Edge Picture Company

We understand engagement, crisis and change communication in difficult environments.
