Good writing gets good results. But it’s not enough to write well. Today’s PR and Comms professionals need to write well, write quickly and write for umpteen different audiences, platforms and purposes. This interactive workshop will show you what makes a press release different to a blog post, how to cut through the flannel and write an engaging 240 character Tweet or impactful media sell-in, and how to make everything you write more effective.

How attendees will benefit

You’ll know what prompts a reader to do what you want them to do and deliver the right results for your company or clients. You’ll adapt the structure and style of your writing for different purposes. And you’ll feel more confident in your ability to write for a wide range of audiences and platforms.

Who should attend

The course is for anyone who wants to be a better writer. It’s particularly suitable for people new to writing a range of PR and Comms materials.
