Measure the effect of communication on international media partnerships beyond volume of coverage.
Designing Cross-Border International Media Partnership Strategies
A working programme in international media partnerships for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when international media partnerships is mishandled. Silence during a crisis involving this strand of communications and media practice is itself a statement. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of communications and media practice under scrutiny. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for international media partnerships, not for observers of it. It treats the communications and media practice capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the practice within communications and media practice and under-invest in testing it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in international media partnerships rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Comparative studies of this part of communications and media practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of communications and media practice sustainable.
