Overview
Staff in a reception or corridor give a screen about three seconds, so a long email newsletter does not work there. This eleven-slide deck breaks the month's news into one idea per slide: a headline, a top story with what staff told you, new starters, a diary, a thank you and four reminders.
The sample is a November issue for Northfold Services: 214 days without a safety incident, £18,400 raised for a food bank and a depot move on 9 December. Replace the masthead, news, names and dates, keep only the slides you can fill this month, then set the deck to loop.
Useful for
- A reception screen that loops the month's news, dates and thank yous for visitors and staff
- A depot or site office where teams without desks need the same news as head office
- A monthly update from internal communications that replaces a long email few people finish

- Photo cover with the masthead, issue number and byline

- Welcome slide and a cards slide for new starters with role and start date

Questions
How long should each slide stay on screen?
About 8 to 12 seconds works for most lobby screens. Keep text short so a passer-by can read it in three seconds and come back to the rest on the next loop.
Are the company, people and figures real?
No. Northfold Services, its colleagues, depots and every figure are fictional and only show what a finished newsletter looks like. Replace them with your own.
Can I remove slides I do not need?
Yes. Delete any slide you cannot fill this month. A shorter loop with real news is better than a full deck padded with filler.
