Level Up Your Communication Skills: Join The Comms Lab Webinar Series!

Are you ready to turn theory into practice? The Comms Lab will help you master essential communication skills with expert-led, hands-on training, giving you the tools and confidence to excel in real-world scenarios.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the first webinar:

1. Master the Media Pitch: Learn how to craft press releases, identify the right media contacts, and effectively pitch your story to the press.

2. Create Vertical Videos: Have you ever wanted to make your own TikTok video, YouTube short, or Instagram reel? Learn the step-by-step process of planning, shooting, and editing engaging videos for social media.

3. Design Social Media Campaigns: Learn how to use customizable templates on Canva to create cross-platform social media campaigns. You’ll be ready to plan out and execute a social media campaign.

Put your skills to the test in part 2!

After choosing one (or more!) of these tasks, participants will submit their work for review during the second webinar. This session will offer personalized live feedback, and spark insightful discussions to help you refine and perfect your craft. By the end of part 2, not only will you leave with new knowledge and insights, but also a vertical video, social media campaign, or a press release!
