Communicate Your Cause on a Shoestring: Cork - 19 June 2012

Nonprofits are finding it increasingly difficult to make their voices heard above the din of media and marketing communications. But, in an environment where it is essential to recruit new supporters, charities have to explore new ways of getting their message across. 

• Publicity: learn how to get your organisation noticed by the print and broadcast media
• Email Marketing: discover why email is still one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways of getting your message across
• Social Media: unlock the power of social networks like Facebook and Twitter to promote your work and build your organisation's support base.
