Design the crisis response plan for mutual media sponsorship with named roles and pre-agreed authority.
Building Mutually Beneficial Media Sponsorship Strategies
Build a working method for mutual media sponsorship that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Journalists covering mutual media sponsorship are working to a deadline you do not control. The first version of a story about this aspect of communications and media practice tends to become the reference version. Participants leave with a method for the communications and media practice capability, not a set of opinions about it. Participants finish able to explain mutual media sponsorship to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of communications and media practice outperform teams that only plan it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the communications and media practice capability, not for observers of it. Participants test their assumptions about mutual media sponsorship against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Most organisations already have a policy on the communications and media practice discipline; far fewer can show it working. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of communications and media practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
