Strategic Press Office Management

Communications and Public Relations|5 days|Classroom or live online

Strategic Press Office Management looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on message development, content planning and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because internal communication failures surface later as engagement and retention problems. Delegates leave able to work confidently with campaign planning, internal communication and stakeholder mapping in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do
