Promote an Event

 

Headway will be happy to help you with any press releases, but if you want to go your own way here are some things to consider:

 

Please do not use the Headway Logo unless you have asked our permission.

 

Always clear any press you are doing with Headway Essex.

 

When raising funds for Headway Essex you need to state our full name “HEADWAY ESSEX”, and our Registered Charity Number which is 1008807

 

When describing our work please use the phrase; ‘Headway Essex provides care and support for survivors of brain injury and their families and carers.’

 

Publicity is key to any successful event. To ensure people come to your event, they have to know that you are organising one! Try and promote your event to as many people as you can.

 

Contact your local newspapers

Contact your local magazines

Contact your local radio station

Contact Headway Essex to ask about press contacts.

 

Think about your press release and whether there is an angle that might be of interest to the press. Often it is the more unusual element of the event that gets the most publicity.

 

  • What is the event called?
  • Who is organising it?
  • What is being organised?
  • Where is it being held?
  • When is it being held?
  • How much do the tickets cost?
  • Where are your ticket outlets?
  • Who can they call for further information?
  • Why is it being held?
  • Why are you supporting Headway Essex?
  • Always include a quote.
  • Who can the press contact for more information?

 

Take an imaginative photo to promote your event and send it in with the press release.

 

If you have any contacts in the media, that is always the best place to start!
