More and more people are going into PR. Some are trained. But most are not.
Public Relations for Absolute Beginners is an intensive two-day seminar designed to introduce the untrained quickly, easily and effectively into the world of PR.
The course is completely free from waffle and technical language. Instead, it will provide you with straightforward formulae, techniques and proven methods designed to help you get the most out of your PR effort. All the basics are covered:
- Public Relations: What is PR? How is it different from advertising? What do PR people actually do all day? And how can you improve the image of your organisation through PR?
- Press Releases: How do you write a press release? What should it say? What should it look like? And to whom should you send them?
- Social Media: How can you use social media to promote your organisation? How do others do it? And how can you defend your organisation against damaging on-line rumours, accusations and speculation?
- Press enquiries: How should you respond to journalist’s enquiries on the telephone? What should you say and what should you not say? And how can you make sure that you don’t say the wrong thing?
Find out the answers at Public Relations for Absolute Beginners. This intensive course is packed full of invaluable hints, tips and guidelines that will show you how to get the best from your PR effort.
The course has been designed as a complete two-day practical introduction to the basics of public relations so that participants can go away and start employing the tried and tested rules of PR immediately.
If you are new to PR, and want to find out all the fundamentals of the subject quickly, then you must attend this course. But act now. Places are strictly limited and allocated on a first come first served basis.
