PR on a Shoestring, a Half Day Workshop

I am delighted to announce that I have put together a half day workshop entitled 'PR on a Shoestring' and I am planning to run this on the 25th March and again on the 11th April 2011.

There are PR opportunities all around us and with the doom and gloom of negative publicity swamping us every day, it is important to put the positive stories out there as well and highlight all the good that's going on in business today.

How can this be done?

'PR on a Shoestring' is a workshop designed specifically to cover the basic skills which you the small business would need to acquire to conduct a PR campaign.

Having worked in PR for over 20 years now, I have experience both from an internal communications perspective and as a PR consultant. I have worked across many industry sectors and serviced both multinational and indigenous businesses. Since starting my own consultancy business two years ago, I now have first hand experience of the myriad of challenges facing the small business sector in Ireland.

There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and interaction during the half day workshop and by the end of it you will be ready and armed with the basic tools to carry out your first campaign!
