Free workshop to help businesses share their good news

Businesses, charities and organisations throughout Chesterfield and north Derbyshire are being called on to share their good news and help further raise the profile of the town as a great place to work and invest.

Destination Chesterfield has organised a free Media Awareness Workshop which will give organisations the skills and support they need to share their good news with the media. The workshop is being delivered by Chesterfield Champion, In the Works PR and is supported by the European Regional Development Fund. the popular workshop is being held on Wednesday 15 March at Commerce House from 10.00am – 1.00pm.

Anna Melton, Director of In the Works PR, who will be delivering the popular workshop said:-

“I have worked with businesses in around Chesterfield for a number of years now and know that there are some great stories about jobs and investment that they are not shouting about and this is news that local media outlets, like the Derbyshire Times, really want to hear about. This workshop is designed to give them the skills and know how to gain media coverage for their organisation’s good news.”

Now in its fifth year, the free Media Awareness workshop is a practical, hands-on day by the end of which, businesses will have the skills and understanding to maximise editorial coverage through writing press releases and identifying additional opportunities for media coverage.
