Public relations in election campaigns

How do I persuade voters and journalists?

14 and 15 March will be exciting for politicians! The intensive phase of the election campaign is approaching. This raises the question of how communication and public relations can be used to win votes. Public relations in election campaigns: party, voters and media form a triangle. In cooperation with Akademie Biggesee , the open two-day seminar “Public relations in election campaigns: the intensive phase”, on 14–15 March, is aimed at local politicians who want to optimise their communication with citizens and the press just before the campaign. Behind the title lies a look at various aspects of campaign public relations:
  • The basics of traditional press relations
  • News selection criteria
  • Writing effective press releases
  • Social networks, or social media: Facebook, Twitter & co.
  • Websites and the internet in election campaigns
We discuss the purpose and pitfalls of press releases, the fight for media attention and the opportunities and traps social media offers. But we do more than talk! In practical exercises, you take on the role of journalists, create your own Facebook and other posts, and learn what matters in online storytelling. Enjoy the beautiful countryside around Biggesee while getting your political work on target. Book now and secure your voters‘ full attention. For questions about the content, I will be happy to help!  Registration is handled directly by Akademie Biggesee.
