AI in Communications – Your Munich Agency for Strategic AI Deployment
AI in communications refers to the targeted use of language models and AI tools to optimize communication processes, develop content, and strengthen strategic positioning. It encompasses both the deployment of AI as a tool within communication workflows and the strategic communication that accompanies AI transformation in organizations.58 percent of companies already consider AI indispensable for their communications work, yet only one third of employees feel sufficiently prepared. We do not develop AI. We help communications teams and corporate press officers use AI in a targeted and meaningful way: for more efficient processes, stronger content, and faster responsiveness in times of crisis and change.
As a Munich-based agency for strategic communications and PR, we bring over 25 years of industry experience together with hands-on AI expertise. We help communication teams integrate AI tools in a structured and secure manner, support companies in the communicative management of AI transformations, and develop content strategies for the age of AI-powered search.
What is AI in Communications?
AI in communications refers to the targeted use of language models and AI-powered tools to support, accelerate, and strategically enhance corporate communications. This ranges from automated content creation and media analysis to AI-assisted crisis communication and change processes.
AI in communications encompasses two dimensions: the use of AI as a tool in communication workflows, and the strategic communication that accompanies the introduction and transformation of AI within organizations.
AI in Communications – Our Two Focus Areas
AI for Communication Teams – Optimizing Processes, Strengthening Content
82 percent of companies in Germany report measurable productivity gains through targeted AI deployment (Source: PwC, 2025). Yet many communication departments still work without a structured AI strategy.
We support PR teams and communications professionals in integrating AI tools in a structured and secure manner into their daily work:
AI-assisted content creation: From press releases to social media posts – we develop workflows and prompting structures that deliver high-quality results while preserving brand tone and messaging discipline.
Process optimization and automation: We analyze which routine tasks in your team can be automated and establish efficient AI-supported workflows – from media monitoring to reporting.
AI training and enablement: We train communication professionals in the responsible use of AI – from fundamentals to specialized prompt engineering for communication tasks.
Secure AI environment: In a protected, agency-internal AI space based on the nuwacom.ai platform, we ensure that sensitive company data, draft communications, and strategic documents never reach public AI systems.
AI-Powered Consulting for Crisis and Change – Act Faster, Communicate More Clearly
In crisis situations and change processes, every hour counts. We have developed specialized AI assistants that support our consulting team in crisis communication and change communication – not as replacements for human judgment, but as tools that make our work faster and more precise.
What this means for you as a client: When you engage us during a crisis or complex change process, you benefit from an advisory team supported by AI – with faster analyses, more precise stakeholder assessments, and communication plans developed in hours rather than days.
Specifically, we use AI assistants for:
Crisis communication: Rapid evaluation of media and sentiment landscapes, identification of escalation patterns, and preparation of scenario analyses for real-time decision-making.
Change communication: Audience-specific message development, analysis of employee sentiment, and simulation of various communication scenarios before rollout.
Content under time pressure: AI-assisted creation of statements, messaging guidelines, and communication plans – faster than conventionally possible, yet always reviewed and refined by our experienced consultants.
Communicating AI Introduction – Change Communication for AI Projects
The introduction of artificial intelligence is more than an IT project – it changes structures, roles, and the daily work of employees. Without transparent, empathetic communication, even the best technology fails due to resistance, uncertainty, or passive non-adoption.
As a specialized agency for change communication, we guide companies through this transformation: from strategic framing and leadership enablement to operational communication planning for AI rollouts.
Our services at a glance:
Project setup and governance: Joint goal definition, role clarification within the change team, establishment of transparent working methods
Stakeholder engagement: Surveys, sounding boards, AI ambassadors as internal multipliers
Master story and messaging: Clear messages following the Golden Circle principle, tailored for executives, workforce, and external stakeholders
Training and enablement programs: Kick-offs, how-to workshops, external training programs through the DECAID Academy or 121Watt.
Monitoring and evaluation: Continuous measurement of acceptance, impact, and communication efficiency
Since February 2, 2025, the EU AI Act, Art. 4 obliges all companies deploying AI systems to ensure AI competency among their employees.
We help you meet these requirements – and generate real value from them.
We Practice What We Communicate – Our Own AI Experience as Foundation
A study shows: Media and communication professions are the most affected by AI among all occupational groups (Source: PR Daily / Microsoft, 2025). We embrace this challenge.
As an agency, we use AI in our own work every day: in analysis, text development, and campaign planning. We know which tools deliver results, where the limits lie, and how to overcome adoption barriers.
This is our standard: No abstract AI recommendations, but practice-proven consulting from communication professionals who work with AI daily themselves.
Are You Ready to Meaningfully Integrate AI into Your Communications?
In a complimentary initial consultation – in person in Munich or via video – we get to know your communication landscape and identify where AI can deliver the greatest impact:
You describe your current processes, resources, and challenges in communications.
We share our assessment of which areas – content creation, crisis response capability, or AI-powered search visibility – offer the greatest potential.
Together we determine whether and how a collaboration could look – whether as a workshop, consulting project, or ongoing support.
Communication strategies that rely solely on traditional search engines fall short. AI systems are fundamentally changing how people find information about companies, products, and services. Those who fail to adapt their content and channels to this shift risk losing visibility and relevance.Claudia Thaler, Managing Director consense communications GmbH (GPRA)
Aligning Communication Strategies for AI Search – GEO
Why AI Search Systems Are Redefining Corporate Visibility
The way people search for information has fundamentally changed. Anyone searching for a communications agency, a specialist topic, or a service provider today often no longer receives a list of links – but a direct answer from ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.
For companies and communication departments, this means: Visibility no longer arises solely from Google rankings. It is increasingly determined by whether AI systems cite your company as a source. This is where Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) comes in.
And GEO is becoming increasingly important. ChatGPT now has over 800 million weekly active users (Source: Evolv AI, 2026). Already 50 percent of consumers use AI-powered search systems regularly (Source: Superlines, AI Search Statistics, 2026. And Google AI Overviews appears in approximately 25 percent of all Google searches (Source: Superlines, AI Search Statistics 2026.
For communication professionals, this means: Those who are not visible today in the answers of ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are leaving a growing share of their audience to competitors.
How We Optimize Your Communication Content for ChatGPT, Perplexity & Co.
We help communications professionals and companies adapt their owned content strategy to the requirements of AI-powered search systems:
GEO Audit: We analyze how your website, topic pages, and blog are currently evaluated by AI search systems – and where the greatest potential lies.
Content for AI search: We develop content formats rated as citable by language models – clear definitions, structured answers, expert quotes with source references.
Topic authority strategy: We develop a cross-channel strategy that establishes your company as a reliable source on relevant specialist topics – from your website to LinkedIn to industry media.
Reputation in AI search: Especially in the areas of crisis communication, change, and corporate communications, it is crucial that AI systems categorize your company correctly and cite current, authorized content.
Important: GEO does not replace traditional SEO – it complements it. We develop integrated approaches that strengthen your visibility in both classic search results and AI-generated answers. Learn more about Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

Frequently Asked Questions About AI in Communications
What does AI in corporate communications mean in practice?
AI in corporate communications encompasses the use of language models and AI tools to support communication work – from automated text creation and media analysis to AI-assisted crisis communication. It helps communication teams work more efficiently without replacing strategic expertise.
How does a communications agency with AI expertise differ from an AI software provider?
A PR and communications agency like consense communications does not develop AI software. We help companies use existing AI tools strategically and securely in their communication processes – and communicate the introduction of AI internally and externally. Our focus is on strategy, content, and change, not on technology development.
Can AI be used in crisis communication?
Yes – with clear boundaries. AI can analyze scenarios in crisis communication, evaluate media landscapes, and accelerate the development of messaging. However, final decisions on communication strategy, spokesperson messaging, and stakeholder management always remain with experienced consultants.
Which AI tools are suitable for PR teams?
Suitable AI tools for PR teams include language models like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for text development, media monitoring tools with AI analysis, and specialized platforms for social listening and sentiment analysis. The right selection depends on the specific requirements, data protection standards, and workflows of the respective team.
For which companies and industries is AI communications consulting relevant?
AI communications consulting is relevant for companies looking to make their communication departments more efficient, accompany AI transformations internally, or strengthen their visibility in AI-powered search systems. We advise companies of all sizes – from SMEs (LINK: /en/industries/sme-communication) to corporations, with particular expertise
What does AI consulting for communication teams cost?
Our services are project-based and depend on scope and objectives – from a one-day workshop to ongoing advisory support. In a complimentary initial consultation, we develop a proposal tailored to your needs.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO – and why is it relevant for communication departments?
Traditional SEO optimizes content for search engines like Google, which return a link list. GEO – Generative Engine Optimization – optimizes content so that AI systems like ChatGPT or Perplexity cite it in their direct answers. For communication departments, this means: Classic media work and content strategies must be supplemented with a GEO perspective to remain visible in the AI-powered information landscape.
