Training

Do you want to learn the how to of writing news releases? I can give you a good starter for ten. I deliver fun and interactive workshops on writing news and its bespoke to your needs.

I provide flexible training options in media relations and copywriting for local authorities, charities, social enterprises and voluntary organisations. Courses are for one day, or can be delivered as half day sessions.

Get in touch and tell me what you need. I have worked with organisations like the Scottish Refugee Council and Edinburgh City Council to deliver training in copywriting and handline media enquiries. Kate Chapman, Communications Officer from Edinburgh Building Services said, "It has been really helpful for me to see how it is done and learn how to source stories as well as how to write them so they are interesting to read."

Staff from the Social Enterprise Academy and members took part in a media training session and felt much more confident about handling the media, writing their own press releases and getting media coverage afterwards. Danny Scott, Social Enterprise Academy said, "Jolene is very helpful, patient and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her workshop to other organisations in the third sector, without reservation."
