Course Overview

Journalists covering sponsorship agreement negotiation are working to a deadline you do not control. Credibility in the communications and media practice capability is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. Participants apply the communications and media practice discipline to their own communications function throughout, so the output is directly usable. Ambition around sponsorship agreement negotiation outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of communications and media practice. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the communications and media practice capability it covers ends in something applicable. Practitioner evidence points the same way: sponsorship agreement negotiation improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants who influence this strand of communications and media practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of communications and media practice survives a hostile question.
