Our resident editing expert, Julie Shannon, will teach you how to craft engaging stories and convey these in a clear and convincing tone. You’ll also explore different topics and contexts with plenty of ‘before’ and ‘after’ examples from a range of industries.

We are teaming up with our principal partner Isentia for another year to bring you the latest research in Aotearoa’s PR industry, followed by an expert panel discussion. Hosted by our wonderful PRINZ members ANZ at the fabulous Auckland offices, we will explore the most significant findings and challenges that were identified in the 2024 PRINZ Member Survey. We will also learn about some of the big challenges facing the global media industry and how they impact the audiences we’re all trying to connect with.
