Press Tips
- Organise your press list.
- Create a plan for soft pre-event updates to your desirable contacts.
- Organise your press activity onsite.
- Enhance your pre-event press activity by contacting journalists onsite for an interview.
- Onsite is a good opportunity for a press coffee, brunch or happy hour — make sure it doesn't clash with major events onsite to maximise your chances of press attendance.
- Share an onsite press release on the first day, as journalists will be looking for stories and are not able to attend every event.View the Registered Media List
- Was there a relevant update or business deal as a consequence of the event? Share it with the relevant press.
Sharing the Story with the Press: Think Like a Journalist
From blurbs and pitches to press releases, ask yourself why their readers would care, what the story is, and where your update sits in the bigger picture.
- Keep it short — media are more likely to read something concise and relevant.
- Include a high-quality image to support your content.
- Follow the basic five W's above.
