TRAINING FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONERS

Getting positive coverage for your product, service or clients is critical.
In pitching stories on behalf of an organisation or company, there are particular issues and sensitivities. Whilst creativity remains important, there are boundaries which must also be observed.

This interactive session will focus on what will work and what will not work in getting your story told in the media. It will also look into how you could cut through the media clutter and achieve a higher success rate.

By the end of the 3.5-hour session, you will be able to:

• Learn the elements of a good story & how to include them in your pitch
• Find out how you can enhance story pitches with creative ideas including photography
• Find out what it’s like to be on the other side of the fence – being a journalist
• Understand the Do’s and Dont’s that jeopardise your chances of getting featured
• Increase your confidence when talking to clients and the media about your stories
• Learn how to pitch stories for social media to bloggers, influencers and online media
