What delegates say about Writing Compelling Content for PR Professionals:
I found it very useful. I used the comments straight away to draft an email and I could see it wasa lot stronger.
Lorraine made the session interesting and seemed to enjoy helping us and giving us tips which made the sessions fun. Keep up the good work. I'd love to do your grammar lesson.
I enjoyed the exercises. It enables you to get feedback as soon as you write a letter, press release etc. The feedback was very useful.
