Your company has user data, sales trends, campaign metrics and app insights — but your press releases still lead with corporate announcements. Meanwhile, every editor you pitch wants credibility, substance and proof. The gap between the data your organisation has and the stories your PR team tells is where coverage goes to die.
THE TRANSFORMATION
In one day, you’ll learn to mine your organisation’s existing data for stories journalists actually want to publish. You don’t need to be a data analyst — you need to know the right questions, where to look, and how to frame a number so it becomes a headline.
You’ll learn what makes data newsworthy, how to collaborate with product and ops teams to surface insights they don’t even realise are valuable, and how to write press materials that lead with substance instead of spin. By the afternoon, you’ll have reworked a real press release using a data-first approach — and pitched it live for structured feedback.
