"And back again, after the most popular session last year, Shaun Randol of the Mixternal Comms Playbook brings another dose of AI reality."
"most popular" are Simpplr's words, not mine.
Can I make it two in a row?
Tomorrow (May 7) I speak at Simpplr’s Employee Comms and Experience Virtual Summit. Their description of my presentation:
Your replacement has arrived: AI and the future of employee comms
Shaun Randol, founder of The Mixternal Comms Playbook, confronts a hard truth: artificial intelligence is no longer coming for comms—it’s already here. What was once considered untouchable, uniquely human work is now being replicated by machines in minutes. In this provocative session, Shaun offers a three-part exploration of what this means for our profession.
First, he delivers a reality check, sharing stats and trends that reveal how fast things are moving.
Then, using a live demo (featuring tools like Claude Projects), he’ll show how AI can now execute complex comms work—from multichannel content creation to strategic planning—that once took days and entire teams.
Finally, he outlines the path forward, urging communicators to adapt or risk becoming obsolete.
This session isn’t for the faint of heart—but if you’re committed to staying in comms, this wake-up call might just be your most important meeting of the year.
This year my presentation might ruffle some feathers. But I also hope to show the implications of current and near-future potential for AI in comms.
🚶 Ultimately I want you to walk away from my talk ... far, far away ... so you can think deeply about AI and what it means for your next career move in comms ... or elsewhere.
Sign up for Simpplr's virtual conference. It's free and the sessions will be recorded.
🙏 As a thank you for your support, for the next 24 hours only, I’ve unlocked one of my most popular AI-related articles.
🔓 You’ll learn three increasingly sophisticated - but easy - AI tactics to manage rote or annoying tasks and to elicit responses that match the tone and style of your stakeholders.
Hard truths here – AI's not knocking on comms' door, it's already rearranging the furniture. Your session sounds like the reality check the industry needs. Looking forward to seeing how we pivot from 'oh no' to 'let's go
