Getting your message seen and heard in the corporate L&D market is not easy. There are so many suppliers, all vying for the attention of existing customers and potential customers. So, what do suppliers need to do to get their message in front of the right people and at the right time? PR is a tried and tested option. It enables businesses to build their brand, to keep customers up to date with company developments and to shape the news agenda within the industry. When PR is done well – doing it well is crucial - it is a very good way to get yourself noticed and ensure your message is seen, heard and understood. How can businesses create standout PR? That’s the focus of our panel discussion. We have brought together three expert speakers who will be sharing their experience and insights on creating great PR. This is an interactive session so there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions too. We will be discussing the following areas: •    The role of PR in 2019: what is it and why do it? •    What makes great PR •    Tips for producing great PR on a budget •    Bad PR practices to avoid •    First steps for creating your PR campaign Our speakers: <IMG STYLE="float: left; margin: 4px;" ALT="Lucy George, Wordville" SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/9368447/screenshot2019040916.57.33.png" WIDTH="140">Lucy George, mayor of Wordville Lucy manages a team of highly experienced PR consultants, communications specialists and event strategists.

Having studied maths at university, Jon gained digital media experience working for record labels and other media companies in the early 2000s, before becoming a freelance writer and social media consultant a decade later. With one parent who worked as a university lecturer and the other a management consultant, coupled with his own professional development in media, Jon thinks L&D publishing for business is the job he was always going to do. Based on his own unconventional career progression he says "you never know when or where you might discover something that changes the way you work and think, so always be available to learn". The webinar will be facilitated by Martin Couzins, editor of LearnPatch. The aim is to have a highly interactive session with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
