Are you buzzing with story ideas for print and broadcast but don’t know who to approach or how, while your competitors seem to be getting constant publicity?
It is a fact: editorial coverage has four times the value of advertising. And with thousands of websites, newspapers, magazines and broadcasters out there, there is a huge appetite for stories.
If you know how to make the most of that PR opportunity, it is an excellent means of promoting yourself, building awareness of your brand and your business, and raising your profile.
This practical Media Relations training course will give you an insight into how the media operates, the types of stories it covers and how to pitch your ideas.

Venue
We deliver courses in the most appropriate format for your circumstances – whether face to face or online.
Face to face courses are portable: they can be held in purpose-built studios, at your own offices or at an external venue. In the latter two cases, we create a mock studio for the practical exercises.
Online courses give you flexibility and enable you to offer training to delegates from all over the world. We have run virtual courses for people from the Far East, South Asia, North America and Europe, as well as the UK.
The workshop was a thorough and concise insight into the world of press and PR, which stripped away all the mystery and confusion and made self-publicity seem manageable and achievable. It gave us all the confidence to believe we had news worthy companies and that successful PR is about structured effort not magic or money. It was thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial to attend and the team has been more than generous with their time in additional support following the workshop. Mampara Dance Academy
