Waikato PRINZ members, PR, marketing and communications professionals, and students are invited to our next networking breakfast at The Pā, the new architecturally designed facility on the University of Waikato’s Hamilton campus. We are very excited to be partnering with MCSA – the Management Communication Student Association at the university – for this networking event.

Does pitching to media fill you with fear? Come along and hear tips and tricks to get your pitch across the line – straight from two of Canterbury’s chief reporters, Claire Sherwood (NZME, Newstalk ZB) and Blair Norton (TVNZ)

You're invited to our exclusive panel event ‘Working well with the fourth estate’, tailored specifically for PR professionals.

In the dynamic world of PR, establishing successful relationships with leading journalists is essential. That's why we've assembled a panel of market-leading New Zealand journalists who are at the forefront of today's media landscape. They'll provide unparalleled insights and shed light on what effective media relations looks like.

Calling all Auckland-based PRs – this is a great chance to catch up with your peers informally over a drink, to talk all things PR or otherwise. If you’re not a PRINZ member and want to find out more about the benefits of joining, there’ll be members of the Northern Committee around to ask any questions, so feel free to pop down… just look for the table of the smartest people in the room!

Look forward to seeing you there.

If you are responsible for organising events this year, and have been wondering how to create an event that delivers your objectives with flair, on time, on budget with minimal stress, then this one day workshop is for you.
