Viva

Viva Amplify is the campaign-driven internal communications module of Microsoft Viva. It gives corporate communicators, HR, and leadership a central workspace to plan messaging campaigns, write content once, publish it consistently across multiple channels, and track engagement, all inside Microsoft 365. Instead of manually copying the same announcement into email, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint, communicators create a single campaign in Viva Amplify and distribute it everywhere employees already are.

The problem Viva Amplify solves is reach and consistency. Large organizations struggle to make sure the right message reaches the right audience in a coordinated, professional way. Messages compete for attention, formatting drifts across channels, and communicators fly blind without analytics. Viva Amplify brings structure to internal communications: guided campaign planning, brand-consistent publishing, multi-channel distribution, and engagement metrics that show what resonated. A well-run Viva Amplify implementation turns ad hoc announcements into a measurable internal communications program.

Viva Amplify is built around the way internal communications teams actually work:

• Campaign management. Plan and organize communication campaigns in one workspace, with briefs, audiences, goals, and timelines so messaging is intentional rather than reactive.
• Multi-channel publishing. Write content once and publish to email (Outlook), Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint simultaneously, keeping every channel consistent and on-brand.
• Writing guidance and templates. Built-in guidance and approved templates help communicators produce clear, professional content that reflects your brand voice.
• Audience targeting. Reach defined distribution audiences so messages go to the right people instead of overwhelming everyone.
• Analytics for internal comms. Measure reach, engagement, and performance across channels, so communicators can see what worked and continuously improve.

Common use cases include company-wide announcements, leadership and executive communications, change-management and transformation programs, HR and benefits campaigns, and recurring newsletters, all coordinated and measured from one place.

ARC delivers Viva Amplify implementation as an end-to-end engagement that pairs configuration with communications enablement:

Discovery and communications audit. We assess how your organization communicates today, channels, audiences, brand standards, and pain points, and define how Viva Amplify should fit your communications strategy.

Setup and configuration. We handle Viva Amplify setup across your Microsoft 365 environment: enabling the service, configuring permissions, connecting publishing channels (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint), and establishing distribution audiences.

Branding and templates. We build branded, reusable templates and writing guidance so every campaign is consistent and professional from day one.

Integration with Microsoft 365. We make sure Viva Amplify works cleanly with your existing SharePoint sites, Teams structure, and audience targeting so publishing is seamless.

Enablement and rollout. We train your communications team on campaign planning, multi-channel publishing, and reading analytics, then support the first campaigns to build confidence and momentum.

Viva Amplify delivers value only when communicators use it consistently. ARC builds these best practices into every rollout:

• Define your channels and audiences first. Map who needs which messages on which channels before launching, so campaigns target precisely from the start.
• Standardize on templates. Consistent, branded templates raise quality and speed up production for every communicator.
• Plan campaigns, don't just post. Treat important messages as campaigns with goals and audiences rather than one-off announcements.
• Use analytics to improve. Review reach and engagement after each campaign and adjust timing, channels, and content accordingly.
• Establish governance. Set clear ownership, approval workflows, and publishing standards so the platform stays organized as more teams adopt it.
• Train and support communicators. Give your comms team hands-on enablement so adoption sticks beyond launch.
