Course Details

This workshop will sharpen your communication tools and teach you the techniques that you need to thrive in PR.

Our emphasis is on being proactive and news reactive helping you understand the potential news value within your organisation. We will help you with “creating the news” – turning everyday activities into newsworthy stories, campaigns and copy.

We cover the whole process of proactivity, from highlighting the idea, writing the press release, making the follow up call to the journalist, to handling the press enquiry and interview. This course combines both theory and more hands-on, practical activities.

What to expect

The full day course is divided into two sessions, a Proactive PR session followed by a Campaign Management session, each filled with tips and advice. You will take part in at least three practical exercises, writing press releases, strategy development and briefing spokespeople.

All exercises are reviewed and analysed. Our open courses are tailored to each participant. You will develop the writing, planning and relationship building skills needed for a successful PR career.

We can take a maximum of six participants per course. We send out pre course questionnaires to help us tailor the training so that you get exactly what you need from the day.
