About this course

When you read the newspaper this week, how many press releases were there? And, more importantly - how many of them did you read? And, of those, how many did you fully understand and - where appropriate - act upon?

This course helps those who write announcements to create interesting, memorable results that generate the desired action.

For

Everyone who has to produce written announcements, including press releases, posters, flyers, adverts and even website pages.

Covers

Why writing is difficult
How to structure written anouncements
Style and content

Duration

1 full day

Prior Experience

Those with some experience of writing in a work context will gain most from this course.

Variations

We can adapt the content for people who need to learn more about a specialist type of announcement, e.g. legal notices or sales-orientated material.

Radio and other non-written media

Please note that this course specifically addresses written announcements. It does not cover radio, TV or other speech-based media, which are discussed in our course Making Effective Presentations. In general you should avoid using the same announcement for a speech-based medium as for a written medium.

I'm interested. What do I do now?

If you want to know more about how we could deliver this course, or any of our courses, for your business, department or other organisation please contact us for an initial discussion. We will meet with you and discuss your requirements and how we would go about meeting them. This initial meeting is free, and at the end we will write to you to explain how we can help you and what it would cost. If you decide not to proceed you pay nothing; but we are confident that you will see the benefits of training with Burgh House Training & Development.
