Free Media Trust training and advice

Thursday 30th September 2010
Friday 1st October 2010

The Media Trust NSS workstream are offering a free consultation sessions around all things Marketing and Communications related.  You can attended any or all of the sessions they are offering but places are allocated on a first come first served basis:

The consultation will last approximately 1 hour 45 minutes in which you will discuss your communications/marketing strategy and materials, gaining advice and guidance on how to be even more effective at reaching the organisations which you provide support for.

To get the most out of the meeting, you will need to send your existing marketing strategy, if you have one, to the contact below and fill in a short questionnaire. This will give the consultant a chance to look at where you have been, where you want to be and what you want from the session so that it can be tailored to your needs. You are welcome to bring a colleague(s) along with you but please give at least two days advanced notice of the names of the people who are attending.

Media Trust are also running a media matching event taking place in the evening of the 30th September in Birmingham from 6-8:30pm. This is an opportunity to meet lots of media professionals in a short period of time. Professionals with different skills move around the tables spending a few minutes talking to each organisation about what support they have to offer and whether this would fit with your needs. If you both tick that you would like to match then you will each be passed each others details to continue the relationship further. This is also free of charge to support providers and complements the consultation session.

As a follow-on from the other two sessions, Media Trust will be coming to  hosting a workshop called Hitting the headlines which is designed to help your organisation know how to reach journalists and get your stories published.
