During this environment of uncertainty and change, we look for an understanding of how organizational agility has helped companies to implement key Internal Marketing strategies to cope with such challenges, being able to differentiate between “brilliant improvisation” and a repeatable capability to be prepared for a future crisis or environmental challenging scenarios. This paper presents a proposed model that analyzes two relevant research gaps: 1) The relationship between Internal Marketing and Organizational Agility, and 2) The challenges of Internal Marketing inside an organization derived from an external crisis (COVID-19). Eight semi‐structured long interviews, focused on understanding the employer's perspective, were developed with CEOs of SMEs in various industries in Mexico. The findings suggest five main challenges to enable Internal Marketing strategies through organizational agility: 1) communication 2) emotional well-being, 3) safety, 4) empowerment, and 5) digital tools management. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar los nuevos retos y oportunidades que las empresas han enfrentado debido a la radical transformación en los esquemas de trabajo durante la contingencia de COVID-19. Durante un entorno de incertidumbre y cambio, buscamos una comprensión de cómo la agilidad organizacional ha ayudado a las empresas a implementar estrategias clave de Mercadotecnia Interna para hacer frente a tales desafíos, y diferenciar entre lo que es una "improvisación brillante" y una reiterada capacidad para estar preparados para una crisis futura o escenarios desafiantes en el entorno. Este artículo presenta una propuesta de modelo conceptual que analiza dos brechas de investigación relevantes: 1) La relación entre Mercadotecnia Interna y Agilidad Organizacional, y 2) Los desafíos de la Mercadotecnia Interna al interior de una organización, derivados de una crisis externa (COVID-19). Se desarrollaron ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas con directores generales de PYMES en diversas industrias en México enfocadas en comprender la perspectiva del empleador. Los hallazgos sugieren cinco principales retos para viabilizar estrategias de Mercadotecnia Interna a través de la agilidad organizacional: 1) comunicación 2) bienestar emocional, 3) seguridad, 4) empoderamiento y 5) manejo de herramientas digitales.
