Integrated Publicity Planning for Events Central Area, Central

Course details

Event publicity is a critical success factor to every event organised. The fact is that organisations may not have mega budgets to embark on high cost programmes. In this course, participants will be exposed to the different channels to publicise their company events internally and externally, some of which may not cost anything. Targeted at executives who may need to publicise events for their organisations and not necessarily the marketing professionals only, the workshop focuses on taking a holistic perspective to planning publicity programmes and exploring publicity opportunities before, during and after the event.
