Course Overview

The first version of a story about media sponsorship return tends to become the reference version. Journalists covering the practice within communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of communications and media practice in terms that support a decision. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for media sponsorship return, not for observers of it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider communications and media practice agenda, not around theory headings. Plans for the practice within communications and media practice often fail at the handover point between functions. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from media sponsorship return, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The professional literature on this part of communications and media practice converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The final session converts the week's work on this area of communications and media practice into commitments with owners and dates.
