SSO, Directory & CRM sync, Slack & Teams, and SharePoint

SSO makes it possible for any HQ user to securely log in with only an email. Directory sync — with Gmail, Outlook, or 14 other directories — means your updates always arrive to whom you intend. A one-way CRM sync connects with Hubspot and Salesforce. And Slack, Teams, and SharePoint integrations make it easy to distribute your HQ editions beyond employee inboxes.

Unlimited Axios HQ workspaces

Internal communications are complex. With premium, you can launch as many distinct communications — with equally distinct audiences — as you need and continue to add more as your organziations grows.
Headers and buttons

Card headers and buttons

Tailor each card you include in your communications. Use a headline to let readers know what's ahead — or opt for a banner image boost visual flair and definition. Stylized buttons draw even more attention to the CTAs that matter to you.
Image layouts

Photo layouts

Grids give you even more flexibility in how you arrange and display images in your internal communications. As always, you can still use a full-width image at the top or in the body of your cards, as well as shrink or left, center, right align them.
Fonts and sizes

Custom font and three pre-set sizes

Expand beyond Axios HQ's pre-loaded library of web safe fonts. Define and designate the brand fonts your organizations has installed and uniquely uses — and choose from a series of pre-formatted font sizes and sub-headers to amplify your information hierarchy. 
Brand colors

Primary, secondary, and background colors

Define more primary and secondary colors to decorate and elevate your internal communications. Set your newsletter color — using any hex code — and up to two others to customize the colors you can add to your text and what the background of your communication is.
Custom Footers

Remove HQ logos and add custom footers

Simplify and customize your HQ templates. You can remove HQ logos, define, design, and add a custom footer — and lead your audience to the legalese or social links you care about most.

Three ways organizations use HQ

Hundreds of teams use our software to plan, compose, align, and measure their internal communications.

"Our HQ update is a chance for management to go on the record... It’s a way to communicate efficiently, to let people digest it asynchronously, and to measure whether it's getting traction." Mike Lackman, CEO, Trade Coffee

All-staff and exec communication

Clear, effective communication is critical for on-site, hybrid, and remote teams to stay aligned. Axios HQ makes writing internal communications easy — so you can boost trust and engagement across your all-staff and executive audiences.

"As our Social Impact work continues to grow, we recognized smart communications would be crucial... Axios HQ provides a streamlined platform to communicate with our employees around the world, and the ability to easily customize our messaging for regional audiences." Richard Socarides, Chief Communications Officer, GLG

Department and regional news

As all-staff updates trickle down, each region or department needs unique insight to carry a strategy or goal forward — and see their role and impact in it. Axios HQ helps teams or regions understand “What’s new” and “Why it matters” to them.

"It's been really helpful in community and trust building. In school communications, no one ever tells you, ‘Oh, I loved your communication,’ so it was kind of a shock for us to hear, ‘Thank you.’ Every week, more and more people email us." Media Relations Manager, AISD

Member and client updates

Axios HQ makes it easy to build community or engage clients with clear, conversational updates. A few ways organizations use it today:

  • Cadenced client or member updates

  • Updates on volunteer and other events

  • Philanthropy and donor impact stories

  • Most Smart Brevity communications are 40-50% shorter than typical updates, with all the same vital details preserved. 

It works because it's built on brain science. We spent years digging into data and changing reader behaviors to learn what keeps folks engaged.
