In this interactive online workshop, we cover the principles for preparing great media releases, communications materials, and general business content. 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.
Are you a recent graduate with a degree in Communications or Journalism? Or maybe you're a junior practitioner looking for that next step in your career? This is your chance to gain valuable insights from industry leaders who have carved out successful careers in the communications field. This panel will explore the career paths in communications, the skills you need to stand out, and how to navigate your way to success in this ever evolving field.
