		Let's communicate Sometimes, you need to say different kinds of things about your business to different groups of people. For Royal Mail, we've developed two distinct strands of communication to make sure we talk clearly to exactly the right group. more The first strand is a trio of magazines – Contact, Sort it and Smart – designed to engage business customers. Royal Mail is the UK's biggest postal service operator, right at the heart of many businesses' operations, and we want to speak to distinct sectors inside those organisations – take a look below and you'll see what we mean. The second but no less important strand is Royal Mail's internal communications titles, Courier and a new modern management magazine. Having one integrated Redwood team working across the whole portfolio means the right message gets to everyone, in the way they're ready to hear it. Want to find out more about the project?
