Joint Innovation Communications and Marketing Group

Inactive

This group is no longer active.

Overview

Joint Innovation Communications & Marketing Group (JICAM) was formed in June 2018 to raise awareness of the benefits of innovation to businesses and to celebrate existing successes. This was a priority of the Innovation Action Plan.

Led by the Innovation Strategy team, the Group actions this priority by:

  • establishing an internal communications network by adopting a 'Team Scotland' approach to collaborate and amplify innovation messaging
  • collaboratively developing and rolling out a joint national Innovation Communication Plan, consolidate existing activity from partners in one place, allowing for enhanced co-ordination and impact across all partners channels
  • to inspire, demystify and encourage business to innovate through increased investment in R&D, introducing new goods, services or processes or improving existing ones for increased productivity, or introducing new ways of working or decision making
  • develop a social media amplification strategy to widen the reach and impact of messaging
