Event Details

PR Insights is a programme of training courses from UnLimited Insights aimed at people working in PR and corporate communications. Tapping into expertise from the communications, media and digital industries, the PR Insights courses provide practical information on best practice and current trends from across the PR spectrum.

This course provides an overview of the social media landscape in 2012, and how social media platforms can be used across the PR spectrum to manage stakeholder relationships, and to aid a company's research, response and reputation management. It explains how to plan consumer-facing social media campaigns, and the importance of good content, and looks at how to measure the effectiveness of social media activity. This course will provide ideas, insights and practical information for both consumer and corporate PR people.
 
This course is led by Chris Cooke, who has written about the media and content industries daily for over ten years. He reports on the PR and marketing sectors for esPResso, and often comments on the content industries for other media, most notably the BBC. Chris also has hands-on experience working on PR and communication projects, and provides key media training to the award winning Taylor Bennett Foundation, which is supported by the likes of Brunswick, Talk PR, Edelman and MHP. An experienced trainer, Chris brings insider insights, practical experience and legal training to his teaching.
