Most internal comms teams start the same way: a shared inbox, a distribution list, a manually maintained spreadsheet of employee emails. It works until it doesn't. Messages go to the wrong people. Open rates are a guess. Scheduling takes hours. And nobody can prove whether the communication actually reached anyone. Broadcast replaces that patchwork with a system purpose-built for internal communicators. Start free. No credit card. No contract. No expiration. Foundations is Cerkl's free-forever plan for teams of any size. You get a drag-and-drop email builder, customizable branded templates, audience management, and email analytics from day one. Build and schedule employee communications without touching Outlook or Gmail — and see exactly who opened, clicked, and engaged. There's no trial period and no forced upgrade. Small teams can use Broadcast indefinitely at no cost and upgrade only when complexity actually demands it. Dynamic audiences, always in sync Broadcast connects to your HRIS and identity systems; Workday, SAP, PeopleSoft, ADP, Paycor, and Active Directory; and, builds live audience segments that update automatically as employees join, move, or leave. Communicators target the right people without filing an IT ticket for every send. HR changes flow directly into your audience structure. One message. Every channel. As organizations grow, so do their comms stacks. Broadcast's Omni AI tier lets communicators publish once and deliver across email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, SharePoint/intranet, and mobile, without duplicating work or logging into multiple tools. Employees receive communications in the channels they already use, whether they're desk-based, frontline, or working remotely across time zones. AI personalization that makes every message relevant Broadcast's MyNews engine personalizes content delivery by role, location, department, interests, and behavior. Instead of blasting the same message to every employee, comms teams can ensure each person sees what's most relevant to them, increasing engagement without increasing send volume. Unified analytics across every channel Most internal comms teams can't answer a basic question: did this message actually reach our people? Broadcast normalizes engagement data across email, Teams, Slack, SharePoint, and mobile into a single analytics view. Open rates, click rates, audience reach, and content performance, in one place, across every channel you use. Low IT lift. Fast to launch. Broadcast is designed to deploy without a months-long implementation. SSO is supported across Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, and more. Data sync runs via REST API, SFTP, CSV, or direct HRIS connectors. IT gets the security and governance they need. Comms teams get up and running fast. Built for internal comms. Not adapted from marketing. Broadcast is not a marketing automation tool or an email service provider repurposed for HR. It's purpose-built for internal communicators with workflows, templates, retargeting, and analytics designed around employee communications. Used by internal comms, HR, and people teams at organizations ranging from small businesses to 12,000+ employee enterprises across retail, healthcare, higher education, financial services, manufacturing, transportation, and government. > > Verdict: Rated **5.0/5** by 3 users.

Cerkl has sincerely helped us get the word out about our library's resources, programs and more to our patrons. We'd never be able to reach the number of people we can reach with their electronic format newsletters with paper/hard copy newsletters. > > **Cons**: We've been using Cerkl for a few years now and we've yet to have any issue with them. Product itself or customer service wise. > > Cerkl is great. I think the fact that they started small and are working up really reflects in what they offer. They know that their customers often are small themselves and need a quality product to help get the word out about what they do and offer. We'll be with them for years to come. ----- ### "Cerkl is part of our success story\!" — 5.0/5 > **Terry** | *7 September 2018* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Completely customize-able, both for us as admins and for our subscribers as well\! Easy to add content, control when it goes out, how long it stays active AND LOVE the statistics we get on the platform on the back end. We see what works, what doesn't. We see what content is engaging our patrons and what they're skipping over. We especially like the dedicated email feature that allows us to send out an email on short notice to our subscribers (like if we have to close at the last minute because of a snow storm). Customer support is top notch\! We have been a Cerkl partner from the very beginning and plan to stay with them\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes the layout is not as I expected or envisioned when I'm creating the content as to how it appears after being published. > > Our library patrons are more engaged and informed as to what's going on at their library. Program attendance is up. More people are putting items on reserve via the articles we publish on "new titles". Subscribers love that "their" newsletter is customized just for them. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/208792/cerkl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
