The:101 is running two nationals and broadcast workshops in the next few weeks, in London and Manchester.
We have a few spaces left for the Manchester workshop (Oct 6th) and just one spot left in London (Nov 12th) so please drop me a line if you're interested in coming along.
The workshop is a practical one-day course for PR execs and marketing people who want to learn about selling stories into mainstream broadcast and print media. The course looks at the practicalities of pitching - who to contact, when to get in touch, what to say - and also some techniques for increasing the success rate of pitches by tailoring stories for different audiences, using the news agenda and working with case histories and third parties.
Our trainers have experience of working with the likes of GMTV, This Morning, BBC News, News of the World, Guardian, Telegraph, FT and a wide range of consumer magazines and websites. There will be lots of great advice, role plays and the chance to test out your techniques. Places are £250 per person, with discounts for groups/charities/freelancers/non-profits.
You can also book or find out more at the:101 website.
Thanks!

Want to get your clients on national TV or into the newspapers?
We're now taking bookings for the latest Nationals&Broadcast:101 course in Manchester on October 6th - do drop me a line if you're interested.
There is lots more detail on the 101 website here, but briefly we will have a team of fantastic ex-TV and national newspaper journalists helping PR executives to create pitches to sell stories in to national print and broadcast media.
We think it's a unique opportunity to find out what really makes a story interesting to the mainstream press, and how to pitch that story effectively. The cost is £250 for the day, discounts available for students and non-profits.
