Who should attend this course?

Creatives and PR folks who’ve been tasked with gaining linked coverage from high tier news sites. The course is focused on those responsible for idea generation with the express purpose of gaining linked coverage.

Folks who work primarily on other types of activity – e.g. content creators who are focused on creating content which ranks or converts well, and/or those engaging primarily in other types of link building activity probably won’t get so much out of the course.

Course Content

In this course you’ll learn:

  • What makes a good story from a journalists’ perspective
  • How to identify compelling topics and gain a deeper understanding of the media landscape
  • How to come up with ideas
  • How to figure out whether or not an idea is likely to generate coverage
  • Whether or not it’s a good idea to remake that campaign that got a bunch of coverage a few years ago
  • When and how to go about “saving” a struggling campaign, and when it might be best to just move on
    & much, much more 🙂

Why Train with BrightonSEO

Experts, not Trainers

We won’t waste your time sitting you in front of full time trainers who haven’t got their hands dirty for god knows how long; we get experts from different fields of the industry on board to give you the information they know works, not just the theory of what’s supposed to.

Specific, Detailed and Unique

Most training providers are looking for a course they can run month after month, week after week, so they end up being general and catch-all. Not our courses … they’re more detailed and in-depth than you’ll find anywhere else.

You Drive the Agenda

We don’t drive the agenda, you do. Before each training course, we ask what you want to be taught, and we actually listen. All the workshops we run have been selected because they’re the most commonly requested training subjects useful to you.

Group Sizes

The group sizes are ideal, more than a handful to offer a bit of diversity and substance to the day, but small enough that the training can remain hands-on and personal, making sure all questions are directly answered.

The Perfect Duration

The day runs from 9.30-4.00 to keep it punchy. Any longer than that and it starts to drag, any shorter and you’re not able to properly sink your teeth into what you’re covering. Don’t worry, you’ll also get plenty of breaks to network.

Proper Food & Drink

There’s a couple of coffee breaks, morning and afternoon, and we also provide a proper lunch. That’s right, we’re talking real food with beer and wine rather than soggy sandwiches or mush slopped from a tray.

Money Back

There’s simply no worse feeling than putting aside a day out of the office to go to a training course, handing over your cash and a course failing to live up to your expectations.

We do all we possibly can to make our courses the best you’ve attended but if you ever feel we didn’t live up to your expectations, we’ll give you a total refund, no questions asked.
