What are the trends 2016 for online Annual Reports?

Annual reports are often considered only a legal necessity.

From the communication point of view, this is a big mistake.
For communicators, the release of an Annual Report is a real opportunity to communicate the main messages of the organisation; to speak about their successes and generate a positive wave of what was done in the previous 12 months.

In 2015, Online Annual reports are becoming common, even the organisations that publish only an online version of their annual report are seldom.
However, the printed reports still have their place, and if we look at the present trends, it does not seem that they will disappear soon.

But let’s focus on the online reports. What will be the trend for 2016?

1) More storytelling
Storytelling is the narration of the key events in an organisation life through words, sound, and images using metaphoric embellishments. Storytelling is an excellent way to carry information forward.
Stakeholders pay a better attention when you wrap your messages in a story.

2) Parallax Scrolling Annual Reports
The parallax mini-websites trend will continue to 2016, with its impressive effect at the scrolling feature of a web page. Technically speaking, the parallax effect uses multiple backgrounds that seem to move at different speed to create a sensation of depth and an interesting browsing experience. The parallax effect is very efficient when you want to convey information quickly and easily in a very structured way.

3) Single-Page Responsive Annual Reports (mobile-friendly).
Why? With web traffic moving towards mobile, it is reasonable to expect that responsiveness standard will also apply to the online annual reports.
Scrolling single-page can be an efficiently way to encapsulate the key information related to your annual report.

4) Movement and interactivity
Combining movement with more interactivity is going to produce amazing and memorable results.

With movement, Parallax scrolling, Single-page responsiveness, and, interactivity, the communication agencies have more tools than ever to build you the storytelling for your next online report.

Web platforms are a digital trend responding well to the needs of partnership in the sector of Associations.

Nowadays, due to the complexity of their missions, organisations know that they won’t be able to achieve their goals alone. Globalisation obliges to have partners.

That is why, organisations needs to communicate with existing and potential partners. They need tools for that.

UNEP in Europe is a hub for profiling what the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is doing on the ground, highlighting work with partners, and informing stakeholders.

UNEP in Europe is the digital platform allowing the United Nations Environment
Programme to distribute largely their monthly digital E-Newsletter summarising the work that they are delivering in the regions or from the regions.

The platform also gives a quick picture of the political movements in the regions and has a calendar section to mark upcoming events.

UNEP, established in 1972, is the voice for the environment within the United Nations system. UNEP acts as a catalyst, advocate, educator and facilitator to promote the wise use and sustainable development of the global environment.

The web platform “www.unepineurope.org” has been designed and developed by Page in extremis in close collaboration with the UNEP communication team.

"As much as TV and radio have changed over the past few decades, the real media revolution is taking place in the digital arena of what I call cyberbranding. In contrast to tens of thousands of traditional media outlets, there are more than a hundred million new media outlets and counting. Cyberbranding takes place in the dynamic digital world, with content created and shared by anyone and accessible to everyone"

Formsofwork.eu is an online publication that briefly presents the main results of an essential study resulting from a Joint Research project of Eurociett and UNI Europa, with financial support from the European Union.

The study is entitled: “How Temporary Agency Work (TAW) compares with other forms of work”.

At the European level, it is important to get a clear picture of the evolution of the size of the different forms of work, the working conditions they provide and their contribution in the labour market.

The main objective of the study is to compare TAW with other forms of work with respect to the following topics:

- The size and evolution;

- The EU regulation;

- The effective working and employment conditions.

The study focuses on the comparison of TAW with three other forms of work that have an important place in the labour market: open-ended contracts, fixed-term contracts (FTCs) and self-employment.

The online publication is the result of a narrow collaboration between the communication agency Page in extremis and the Eurociett’s communication team.

First of all, a classic publication has been developed (downloadable online). Then, the content has been adapted to the digital media. Visuals and dynamic graphs have been produced. The result is a vibrant online publication, with information easy to read, easy to memorize. A pleasant way to communicate the main results of a research project.

Within the context of online development, there is a close relationship between creativity and the use of technology. Should we bring technology forward? Or should the project development arise from a sharp analysis of the needs?

At the communication agency Page in extremis, we chose the second option.

This is why the communication agency’s strategies always start with a thorough analysis and an audit of the existing material before offering visual solutions. The technology that will be used depends on the thus identified needs. This approach requires a good culture of what is possible. Because of that Page in extremis assists its clients early in the process of developing an online publication.

Page in extremis is a communication agency specializing in corporate and institutional communication, which, since 1994, has overseen great innovative projects on the web.

"The why of an organization is the basis from which you should create the set of experiences that will best drive activity in social media.

2014 was an election year in the EU. Dr. Wolfgang Doneus, President of the Council of European Dentists explains in the annual report 2014 how this affected the Council of European Dentists (CED):

“Recognising the importance of EU legislation for dentists, we joined the European Movement International’s 1000 Reasons to Vote for Europe campaign and presented the CED Manifesto in which we called on the EU decision makers to improve oral health of Europeans, support a strong and independent dentist workforce and put patient safety and health first.”

The Council of European Dentists (CED) is the representative organisation for the dental profession in the EU, representing over 340,000 practising dentists through 32 national dental associations.

Established in 1961 to advise the European Commission on matters relating to the dental profession, the CED promotes high standards of oral healthcare and effective patient safety centred and evidence based professional practice across Europe.

The Annual Report and its summary have been designed by the communication agency Page in extremis in close collaboration with the CED’s communication team.

Nowadays, we are entering a digital world. The shift was faster than ever. 

With regard to printed publications, the number of printed copies has decreased so much that the digital printing process can be developed, and know a real explosion. Today the quality of that system is nearly equal to the classic proceeding. 

But the question of a large diffusion of information remains. Of course, the social networks exist but they are not relevant for extended information contents.

In parallel, the interactive brochure (e-brochure) is a complementary solution allowing to widespread the diffusion of a brochure, a report or any other information.

E-brochures are pdf files easy to download on the internet. Clickable links can be included, offering a pleasant way to read the publication on a computer screen  or a tablet.

Page in extremis, a Belgian communication agency specialised in corporate and institutional communication, can help you adapt your communication tools to the new era of digital communication.
