Interactive Workshop
The Authority Game: Turning PR Actions into Digital Impact Duration: 40 minutes Meeting Point: TBA Format: Interactive workshop and team challenge Group Size: 4–5 participants per team Registration opens on 1 October and will be shared via email. How can brands and individuals build authority and relevance in an increasingly digital world? This interactive workshop explores the key principles behind building brand authority and digital relevance, from understanding the audience you want to influence and the territory you want to own, to turning real-world PR and marketing activity into measurable digital impact. Following a selection of case studies, participants will work in teams of 4–5. Each group will receive cards featuring different brands and PR/marketing actions and will develop a strategy designed to strengthen the assigned brand’s authority and relevance. Each team will then present and pitch its strategy to the group. Takeaway: A practical framework for moving a brand beyond visibility towards relevance, credibility and authority. |
