Over the last year Creative Republic have hosted a rich variety of different events, and have been committed to adding value and debate to Birmingham’s creative sector. I am ashamed to say I haven’t made it along to any of their workshops or talks yet, but I planning to attend next Tuesday’s Media Skills Masterclass (6pm – 8pm).
I have been working with media interaction from an arts marketing perspective for some time, but it is such a fast moving beast you need to say on top of your game. I should imagine that this event will offer something for a seasoned marketing person, but also a complete beginner looking to get some press coverage for their creative endeavours. If anything, it is a chance to visit the stunning Fazeley St Studios in Digbeth.
Speakers include:
- Ian Taylor, Commercial Director and Kurt Jacobs, Head of PR, Marketing Birmingham
- Marverine Cole, Broadcast Journalist Sky News and Austen Duffy, Director FunF Media
- Anna Blackaby, Creative Industries Editor Birmingham Post
- Jon Bounds, Social Media and Web Consultant
The event also incorporates a creative writing workshop led by Clark Baim, Co-Director of Change Point Training to identify, develop and write a piece of news, express your view or highlight a success as relevant to your work.
Strong written content generated from the workshop may, with your permission, then be submitted towards industry and business to business publications by Creative Republic on behalf of you and your organisation. See you there!
