Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about seasonal media content from the news unless you reach them first. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when this strand of communications and media practice is mishandled. The course sets out a working method for the wider communications and media practice agenda that participants can apply the week they return. What blocks progress on seasonal media content is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the communications and media practice capability is examined from more than one functional angle. Applied research in communications and media practice consistently shows that early structure around the communications and media practice discipline reduces downstream rework. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on seasonal media content and revise it on evidence. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a communications plan for this strand of communications and media practice as they go. The programme closes with an action plan for the communications and media practice capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
