Tesco and Summersault Communications team for staff newspaper

Tesco has appointed Summersault Communications, one of the UK’s biggest employee engagement specialists, to produce its staff newspaper The One.

The contract was awarded following a competitive pitch and means that Summersault will take on Tesco’s existing monthly publication.

The brief is to boost engagement levels within Tesco’s 300,000 employees and the Summersault team will not only look at the design and editorial strategies of the newspaper, but also at its distribution to staff.

The One will help employees to share knowledge and also foster a collective pride in the Tesco brand, with editorial content tying in with the company’s strategic objectives.

Gail Franks, managing director of Summersault comments:

“Tesco is one of the world’s largest retailers and the UK’s biggest private sector employer, so naturally we are thrilled to win this prestigious account.

“The Summersault team has been working hand-in-hand with Tesco getting to know the business and understanding what employees want to see in their internal communications.

“We’re very much looking forward to launching our first edition of The One and building future innovative communications that we can all be proud of.”

Summersault specialises in getting to the heart of a business – its employees – ensuring good communications in all areas to build better trust and engagement.
