We are delighted to offer for free our annual communications health check resource. The assessment tool provides an overview of
those elements, and can help you identify your organisation’s current communications strengths and any areas for development. Please contact us if you would like to talk further about MediaWise helping you with audits and communication strategies.

Pitching 101

How do you prepare to pitch to journalists? Do you always rely on a release or do you take advantage of news as it happens to pick up the phone and offer a view, statistics or more information? We come to you. The workshop includes: what the media wants, spokespeople, how to build media relationships, the difference between radio, TV and print and what they are looking for, how to pitch and how to find stories that you never even realised they were there. 

Writing 101

This is not about spelling or grammar. It is about writing a compelling media release, brochure, appeal letters, opinion pieces, speeches and content for Facebook, X and the web. We will take you through tone, writing styles, how to prepare, cutting copy, writing headlines and being active (writing-wise). Participants get the chance to send in work for feedback before the workshop and lots of practice during it as well.
