How One Employee Got Promoted by Creating a Cross-Functional Newsletter

In this episode of The Promotion Memo with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of Priya, a mid-level marketing manager at a regional bank who turned a side project into a promotion. Priya noticed that her bank's 15,000 employees operated in silos, with no one knowing what other teams were working on. So she started a weekly internal newsletter called 'The Intersection,' curating updates from IT, compliance, operations, and marketing. Within six months, her newsletter had a 78% open rate and was being forwarded to the CEO. Lucas and Luna break down how Priya used the newsletter to build visibility, demonstrate strategic thinking, and secure a sponsor in the COO. They discuss the specific metrics she tracked, how she handled pushback from managers who didn't want their teams' projects highlighted, and why the newsletter ultimately led to her promotion to director of internal communications. If you're looking for a low-cost way to get noticed without being pushy, this episode offers a concrete playbook. #CrossFunctionalNewsletter #InternalCommunications #Priya #RegionalBank #CareerStrategy #Visibility #Sponsorship #NewsletterMarketing #EmployeeEngagement #PromotionPath #SideProject #StrategicThinking #Careers #PromotionMemo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ProfessionalGrowth #OfficePolitics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
