The Montepio Foundation and Comunicatorium signed on 11 April a cooperation protocol.
The goal is to promote the sharing of knowledge and cooperation between the social economy entities, contributing to their capacitation and organizational communication skills development.
The Comunicatorium platform was created from a partnership with Aveiro University Micro / IO and comes to be an innovative response to companies needs, helping them building an integrated and effective communication strategy, adapted to the reality and organizational culture.
The Platform helps organizations develop their diagnosis, choose the best strategies, build and manage their integrated communication plan, creating metrics and quantifiable instruments to operationalize concepts, evaluate actions, develop goals and verify compliance.
