Testimonial

Excellent. The tutoring was outstanding and the written materials we have taken away are already being used to inform our communication methods. All five of us found it very interesting, of great use and we have all developed our skills considerably. One of the team said it was the best training they have ever had and I would second that. It had an added bonus of being a team building exercise. Truly top class. Hugo House, Communications Manager, Good Energy.

Using the media as a marketing tool

Most of us fear anything we can't control, and lawyers are often cautious about marketing through the media for that very reason. In this seminar, we offer you a framework for managing the risk – because the rewards make it worthwhile.

Good Public Relations can in fact be the most cost-effective part of your marketing mix. This seminar is about understanding journalists and the media – the essential background to successful PR. Working in an exciting and interactive way we will demystify the methods and processes used by journalists and broadcasters giving you confidence to face the media successfully.

Outcomes include:

Tested and refined key corporate messages
Ability to maximise effectiveness of PR in your marketing
Awareness of potential positive stories and features about your company
Personal as well as business development
