Occupation
Editor-in-Chief and presenter at RTL Z
Speaking at The Self-Made Summit about
PR and how to generate visibility for your company/brand/individual. Building a business or kicking ass at that dream job is one thing. Ensuring that everyone knows that incredible company you work for, or the inspiring brand you built as a person with a really intriguing narrative (one that deserves to be in the spotlight), is a whole other story. Most of the time, media exposure can’t be bought, unless we’re talking about costly advertorials or advertisements. Which is why companies regularly use PR as a key tool. But how do you really do PR? How do you do it well? How can you use it as a strategic weapon; as a tactical tool? In her PR workshop, Ann-Lynn explains how to stand out in the right way. In a way that gets you newspaper, website, blog and TV coverage. Who is your audience? Who are you talking to? How do you write a good press release? And how do you deal with (difficult) questions from journalists? Ann-lynn Hamelink tells all about the do’s and don’ts when it comes to dealing with the media.
