Do your employees actually watch your town halls?
Or do they join with their cameras off, their sound muted and one eye on their inbox while leadership delivers important company updates?
For many Internal Communications teams, that’s the uncomfortable reality.
The technology works.
The livestream works.
The slides work.
But the audience isn’t engaged.
Weeks of planning, senior leadership involvement and important business announcements can all be undermined if employees aren’t paying attention.
At Funny Hands Media, we help organisations solve a different problem.
We don’t just help you deliver a town hall.
We help you create a company-wide broadcast that employees genuinely want to watch.
By bringing live television production expertise into the world of Internal Communications, we help transform company updates, all-hands meetings and leadership broadcasts into engaging productions that capture attention and help your message land.
TURN YOUR NEXT TOWN HALL INTO A TELEVISION PROGRAMME
Most organisations spend weeks preparing leadership messages, company updates and business announcements.
Yet the delivery often feels little different from a standard online meeting.
At Funny Hands Media, we approach Internal Communications differently.
We bring the same thinking, planning and production standards used in live television into the world of company town halls and all-hands meetings.
The same skills used to engage television audiences can be used to engage employees.
Clear storytelling.
Audience engagement.
Live direction.
Professional presenters.
Broadcast-quality sound.
Multiple cameras.
Compelling visual content.
The result is a company update that feels less like a meeting and more like a professionally produced television programme.
Because if your message matters, the way it’s delivered should matter too.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING IT WORK AND MAKING IT ENGAGING
Most organisations already have access to technology.
They have Microsoft Teams.
They have Zoom.
They have meeting rooms.
They often have an internal IT team or an AV supplier capable of connecting cameras, microphones and streaming platforms.
The challenge isn’t usually getting the town hall online.
The challenge is getting employees to pay attention.
At Funny Hands Media, we come from a different background.
Our team has spent decades producing live television programmes where audience engagement is everything.
An IT team’s job is to make sure the technology works.
An AV company’s job is to provide equipment and technical support.
Our job is to help you create something people genuinely want to watch.
That’s the difference.
ESCAPE DEATH BY POWERPOINT
We’ve all experienced it.
Slide after slide.
Tiny text.
Bullet points being read aloud.
A presenter talking at the audience rather than engaging with them.
Before long, employees are checking emails, replying to Teams messages or wondering how much longer the meeting has left to run.
Yet many organisations still deliver some of their most important communications in exactly this way.
We believe there is a better approach.
By applying television production techniques to Internal Communications, we help transform company updates into engaging broadcasts that employees are far more likely to watch, absorb and remember.
HYBRID TOWN HALLS ARE COMPLICATED. WE GET IT.
Some of your employees are in the room.
Some are working remotely.
Some are based in different countries.
Some will watch live.
Others will watch on demand later.
Some people want to ask questions from the audience.
Others feel more comfortable asking questions remotely.
Modern Internal Communications is no longer about speaking to one room full of people.
It’s about engaging multiple audiences, in multiple locations, often across multiple time zones.
We understand that.
We’ve helped organisations deliver hybrid town halls where in-person audiences, remote employees and international teams all need to feel equally involved, equally informed and equally engaged.
We understand how to balance a live audience in the room with employees joining remotely from home, another office or another country.
We understand how to manage live Q&As, audience participation, remote contributors and on-demand viewing.
Most importantly, we understand that every employee should feel part of the conversation, regardless of where they happen to be watching.
Because the objective isn’t simply to deliver a message.
It’s to make sure the entire organisation feels included in it.
MAKE YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM LOOK THEIR BEST
Your leadership team may only have a handful of opportunities each year to speak directly to the entire organisation.
These moments matter.
Whether it’s a CEO update, business strategy presentation, company announcement or live Q&A session, we help ensure presenters feel confident, messages are delivered clearly and audiences remain engaged.
Every detail is designed to help leadership communicate more effectively.
When the CEO is standing in front of the company delivering an important message, everybody wants that moment to go well.
We help make sure it does.
TRUSTED WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
When a CEO flies into the UK to deliver a company-wide town hall, there’s no room for mistakes.
The leadership team expects a professional production.
Employees expect a clear and engaging experience.
Internal Communications teams need confidence that everything will run smoothly.
That’s why organisations trust Funny Hands Media.
We understand the importance of these moments and the responsibility that comes with them.
Because when senior leadership is communicating with the entire organisation, everyone wants the production to be remembered for the right reasons.
TRUSTED BY LEADING ORGANISATIONS
Funny Hands Media has supported Internal Communications broadcasts and leadership events for organisations including Paramount, MTV and Utility Warehouse.
We have worked alongside Communications teams, senior leadership and stakeholders to deliver productions that inform, engage and connect employees.
Whether the objective is sharing business performance, communicating strategic changes, introducing new initiatives or hosting live Q&A sessions, we understand the importance of getting these moments right.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

WHY INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAMS CHOOSE FUNNY HANDS
We understand that success isn’t measured by how many cameras are in the room.
It’s measured by whether employees engage with the content, understand the message and feel connected to the organisation.
Imagine walking into the boardroom after your next town hall and hearing:
“That was the best company update we’ve ever done.”
That’s what we help Internal Communications teams achieve.
We help transform routine company updates into professional television-style broadcasts that employees genuinely want to watch.
Because when people engage with the content, communication becomes more effective.
And when communication becomes more effective, everybody wins.
