Magnetic Media Publicity Plans for NonProfits

Getting your local media interested in what your nonprofit organization is doing so you can attract more supporters and generate more resources for your cause takes thinking like a reporter, finding the topics that will appeal to a large number of people, tagging onto breaking news elsewhere, and personalizing the story. And it takes having the benefit of having developed a earned media publicity plan. As soon as you register for the webinar, you'll receive a fill-in-the-blanks media publicity plan template to review and complete as much as possible before the session. By the end of the webinar, you'll have all the blanks filled in or at least know what you still need to know (or to find out from the powers-that-be) and thereafter enjoy the benefit of having a plan to effortlessly earn media attention for your nonprofit over the next year and beyond. 

You'll learn to:

  • Set your SMART objectives
  • Match your objectives with the right journalist(s)
  • Pitch your stories to a warmed up journalist
  • Amplify the newsworthiness of your stories
  • Develop your key messages to suit the audience
  • Explore which of the 30 or so media communication tools best to employ
  • Integrate your earned media publicity plan with social media communications
  • Measure the success of your efforts
  • and much more...
