Internal Story Audit

What internal stories are you telling?A Showrun Internal Story Audit is a 90-minute, narrative-first diagnostic to evaluate how your internal communications, leadership voice, and culture messaging are performing. It’s not just what you say. It’s how it sounds, who says it, and whether your people believe it.It fits for Heads of Internal Comms, HR, DEI, L&D, or People Ops,
culture-first orgs prepping for transformation, M&A, re-orgs, or leadership changes, or
visionary execs frustrated by tepid engagement or “safe” storytellingWe assess the following:
1. Narrative Alignment
Do internal messages reflect a clear company arc?
Is there a discernible “voice” or does it feel like generic HR boilerplate?
Can employees articulate the mission/values without reading the wall?
2. Character Consistency
Do executives speak like real people — or like press releases in suits?
Is messaging tone aligned with team personality types?
Are internal audiences treated as characters or consumers?
3. Dialogue Dynamics
One-way broadcast or two-way rhythm?
Are town halls, Slack updates, or onboarding flows character-rich or compliance-heavy?
Do people feel they have lines — or are they just background actors?
4. Internal Canon Check
Are there signature phrases, mantras, or internal myths that shape the culture?
Is the story of the company told consistently — across onboarding, offboarding, and leadership?
5. Voice Infrastructure
What internal systems currently carry the story? (Newsletters, Slack, dashboards, intranet, videos, etc.)
Are tools amplifying or flattening your voice?After Showrun analyzes these factors, we provide you with a 3-5 page report with prestige television analysis that includes:
Cold Open - Executive Summary: “What Story Are You Telling?”
Character Imprint - Who’s showing up in the narrative? Missing archetypes, hero vs villain dynamics
Heat Map - What’s resonating vs. what’s going stale (based on tone + narrative rhythm)
