PR Workshop Series

Using our years of PR experience we have developed a number of half and full day facilitated communications workshops. These sessions are fully interactive, entirely practical and hands-on.

They are designed for the board and management teams of organisations which may not have had a lot of exposure to strategic communications programmes in the past.

They are designed as ‘tasters’ – they allow organisations to explore various aspects of developing a strategic communications framework – and what it can do for them - without having to make a full investment in a detailed programme.  Our workshops include:

Managing the Media 101

  • General counsel on how to structure and implement a sustained and managed publicity programme that will result in positive coverage.
  • Tailored media training designed to boost your confidence and make you a more influential and compelling spokesperson for your cause.
  • Valuable techniques (the P.R.E.P. Formula) to ensure more consistent and effective message management for your organisation.
  • Training that enables you to handle with aplomb and confidence the most difficult of live interviews.

Lobbying for success

  • Defining the issue so it resonates with government and the media
  • Understanding and managing the political landscape so your messages achieve cut-through
  • Developing the business case to appeal to politicians and officials
  • Developing and leveraging your media profile to support your lobby
  • Working with allies and mitigating critics so you can build a groundswell of support for your case
  • Approaching officials and politicians – the right and wrong things to do

Why are we here?  And who cares?

  • Reviewing an organisation’s brand and desired positioning
  • Analysing your stakeholders and their perceptions of you
  • Identifying communications issues and barriers to profile and business development
  • Setting communications and marketing objectives to support business goals
  • Developing core messaging to enhance your profile and reinforce your positioning

What is PR?  And who needs it anyway?

  • Understanding the ‘value’ of PR and the professional ‘body of knowledge’
  • Appreciating what it can do for you in practical terms and based on your specific needs and issues
  • Discussion on how your organisation can use strategic communications efficiently and – importantly - cost effectively
  • An interactive session to design a communications framework
  • An interactive session on message management
