Delivering Effective PR Communications

PR36

Introduction

Effective Public Relations is one of the founding disciplines of the modern organisation: without it, organisations and their leaders can flounder and fail; and the damage can be notorious and wide-ranging.

This course has been designed to enable team leaders and middle managers to deepen their theoretical understanding, strengthen existing practical skills and take a step-up in their approach and ability in effective PR.

Delegates will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to develop PR strategies and tactics, apply creative thinking to PR solutions and manage stakeholder relationships effectively.

Who should attend

This demanding and practical course is aimed at PR Professionals and Managers who need to have a perspective of modern practice, to broaden their knowledge and add to their existing skills.  This course will also be of benefit to Marketing Managers and Marketing Professionals who are required to understand organisation communication and the challenges of current-day public relations.
