Course Overview
A well-written press release is the most essential element of an effective public relations strategy.
This course is designed to give you the tools you need to write a high-quality, high-impact press release. The instructor has written hundreds of press releases for many different types of clients over the last 20 years. Through this experience, he has seen many of the challenges faced by marketing organizations and entrepreneurs that are trying to get their messages out into the media. With this in mind, he prepares you to avoid some of the most common problems that people make in issuing press releases, including:
- Not understanding that a press release should contains news. The word “New” is in “News.” You have to have something new to say in a press release or it will get ignored.
- Selling your product or service too directly through the press release. It’s not a brochure.
- Not creating a cadence of news announcements over time, giving the impression that the company has ceased doing anything noteworthy.
- Not aligning news announcements with the overall corporate communication strategy and business objectives
The course gives you a proven approach for avoiding these errors and creating a press release that will get noticed by your target audiences:
- Looking at the bigger picture - why you should do a press release in the first place?
- The reasons for issuing press releases.
