CODI

CODI explores the issues that matter most to communication leaders, with each edition featuring:

• Strategic Communication & Leadership: From the evolving role of the CCO to the impact of technologies, reputation management, and the transformation of corporate communications into a strategic business function.

• Case Studies & Best Practices: Real-world examples from leading organisations, including crisis leadership, change management, and the integration of sustainability and purpose.

• Perspectives on the Profession: Interviews with top CCOs, research insights, and reflections on the future of communications in a complex, interconnected world.

The Spring-Summer 2026 Issue: Taking Back the Mic in a Regulated, Outraged World

The newest issue, Spring–Summer 2026, is now available – exclusively to EACD members. Under the theme “Taking Back the Mic in a Regulated, Outraged World,” this edition asks what it really means to lead in an era of regulation, misinformation, and noise. As our Managing Editor Laurent Turpault puts it: “To speak louder is merely to add to the noise; to speak more clearly is to reclaim the story.” This issue is about becoming architects of nuance rather than amplifiers.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Frontline perspectives from the worlds of media and journalism, including David Barroux (Les Échos), Stephen Sackur, and Alison Hoffman (Politico).
• Bold conversations with leaders rewriting the rules, from Agathe Bousquet (Publicis Groupe France) to Alivia Beadell-Kaplan, founder of plant-based leather pioneer INVERSA.
• A sharp exploration of storytelling as the very essence of leadership – because to lead is to choose the story before someone else chooses it for you.
• Our signature “5 Questions for a CCO” with Joanna Price (Heineken).

Plus a few brainteasers to enjoy as summer warms the continent – because one must never be so serious as to forget the joy of the game.
