Demystifying PR - an introduction to effective media relations
Wednesday 24th September and Wednesday 26th November from 10:00 - 13:00
No charge for social enterprises.
If you are not a well-known brand, and a smaller enterprise trying to compete with bigger companies, it can be very difficult to persuade potential customers to use your product or service. PR can be much more effective than advertising. This half-day workshop shows you how to create a thoughtful PR campaign within a structured marketing mix, as well as giving you practical advice on e.g. how to approach journalists.
Why (and how?) should you measure your social impact?
