When you’re putting together a PR Plan, before you get too broad, you have to be specific. There are some really important things to establish to make sure you’re dealing with reality. This workshop will help you teach participants how to create a proper PR plan.

First is the budget. You can write an incredible plan to sell a million widgets if your client has millions of dollars, but usually they don’t. The most important thing to know is how much money you’ll have available. Not all tactics are expensive, and when you don’t have money, you spend time. But it’s essential to know the limit at the beginning.

At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Have an overview about Public Relations planning and preparation
• Set effective goals and strategies for your PR plan
• Target effective media channels
• Design a clear theme for your PR plan
• Discuss way to effectively implement your PR plan
