Press through paper and digital news outlets. Write-ups before events to let people know what to expect and when to show up. Reviews after to let people know what they missed out on, and to anticipate future events. A great way of reaching a wider audience. Can be utilized for various project/campaign types.
A Blog that gives updates on events and programs online. A great way of tailoring given information, letting the audience be aware of everything necessary for each campaign. Can be utilized for all projects.
