M&A Confidential: Expert Answers to your Internal Comms M&A Questions

Considering how to communicate with employees during a merger or acquisition? Get expert guidance and actionable tips!

🗓️ Join us Friday, July 18 at 9am PT / 12pm ET

Mergers and acquisitions are high-stakes, fast-moving events, and with all the secrecy, code names and confidentiality surrounding them, it's easy to feel lost.

On top of all that, there's so much focus on getting to 'Day 1' that hardly anyone is thinking about how to connect and communicate with both new and legacy employees after the deal is completed.

That's where you come in. Whether you're preparing for a deal, navigating the in-between, or figuring out how to keep employees engaged after the announcement, the role of Internal Comms and HR has never been more important, or more complex.

But when you're the only Comms Pro in the room (and you can't tell anyone on your team what you're working on 😫), it can be intense, stressful and isolating.

Whether this is your first deal or your hundredth, don't worry, we've got you.

Join the Dewpoint Communications team for a candid (and as confidential as you need it to be) Ask Me Anything session on communicating clearly and confidently through M&A.

This interactive session will feature real-world examples, an expert perspective, and a live Q&A shaped by your questions — plus a chance to connect with peers navigating similar challenges (and opportunities!)

🤫 You can pre-submit questions anonymously that we'll answer during the session, and/or get live help on your most urgent challenges from Comms experts who've seen it all.

💪 Join us to:

• Get YOUR questions answered by experienced M&A comms experts.
• Learn what (and when) to communicate to employees at each stage of the M&A journey.
• Explore how to support leaders and managers during uncertain times.
• Discover strategies for navigating employee fear, confusion and rumor mills.
• Understand how to communicate cultural alignment without sending generic or performative.
• Walk away with actionable insights you can apply immediately.
• Find out how other Comms and people leaders are handling key M&A moments.

Employees remember how change is communicated. We’re here to help you get it right. 🎯
