Investing in media relations means investing in brand awareness, credibility, and a stronger brand image.
Strong connections with journalists lead to positive publicity, broader reach, and greater trust among customers and partners—ultimately fueling the success of your organization.
Corneel Haine, founder of the Brussels-based PR agency Evoke, specializes in PR for tech, industry, and mobility. Evoke is the trusted PR partner of Start it @KBC and supports both national and international clients such as Siemens, Igus, SAP, Workday, Tata Steel, RAM/Dodge, Cordeel Group, and many more.
In this workshop, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of media relations:
- What qualifies as news—and what do journalists actually consider newsworthy?
- How do you build the perfect press list?
- When and how should you approach a journalist?
- What makes a press release front-page material?
- And how do you launch your product to the right media audience?
