Agency begins a new semester for training workshops

Multi-award winning public relations firm, Approach PR, has announced new workshop dates for its Approachability training arm in 2015.

Following its seventh successful year delivering PR and social media training at its premises and for members of West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, Approach PR has announced even more dates for sharing its extensive media and digital expertise through weekly PR and social media Approachability workshops.

The consultancy kick starts its programme on 12 March with its back to basics “How to use Twitter” workshop, with the equally popular “How to use Facebook” and “How to use LinkedIn” courses running on Thursday 19 and Thursday 26 March.

Suzanne Watson, Managing Director of the six-strong agency which is based on The Grove in Ilkley, said: “We launched Approachability in 2008 and have developed a series of training courses which aim to inform, educate and inspire local business people to do more of their own PR and embrace the opportunities that social media brings to every enterprise – whatever the size or sector.

“Offering an unrivalled insight into writing for the media, planning and executing a PR campaign, social media and an introduction to PR, our training offers an interactive learning formula which empowers delegates, leaving them energised and ready to enter the world of PR and internally manage their communications.” Suzanne added.

Approach PR has accumulated more than 20 PR industry and business awards since its launch in 2001 and today works with local, regional, national and international brands including Airedale Chemical, Delifrance UK Ltd and Mobalpa kitchens.

Approachability workshops are held at the team’s Ilkley offices on The Grove or can be tailored to a company’s brief and delivered on client premises.
