The Cause and Effect PR team have been touring North Yorkshire this March, to provide ten free PR workshops, courtesy of the North Yorkshire Growth Hub team.
We have received fantastic feedback and we have three more PR workshops to go, with dates in York (18 March). Northallerton (26 March) and Bedale (27 March). Book here.
Who should attend
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners, as well as those who want to sharpen their existing skills. You’ll leave with practical tools and feel confident to start, or build, on your PR journey.
Whether you are a rural business, entrepreneur, artist or creative, SME, charity, social enterprise, or tourism attraction – Cause & Effect PR works across sectors.
Why you should attend
Our PR campaigns have resulted in:
- A 50% rise in visitor numbers for a Nidderdale visitor attraction in difficult winter months
- A 75% increase in footfall for a garden’s attraction in Ripon
- Clients report direct results attracting new clients, investors, and profile
- Event organisers report consistently strong ticket sales and sell-out audiences
- A lobbying campaign for an arts charity helping secure a £5m investment
“What would be your ideal coverage? They asked. Um….I mean the dream would be a Guardian article, but we’d settle for some regional press, I said. A few weeks later, we’ve had a BBC Radio 4 feature, a lead article in the Guardian online climate change section, BBC news, ITV regional news, and much more. I’m blown away by the coverage.” – Adam Cooper, Threads in the Ground
