[TASK] PR and external communication - English and German

Global Coordination Communication global
#1

Dear all,

I guess we still need people who want to be responsible for the PR and communication to externals of the OSCEDays 2015.

Tasks include:

  • coordination of the international PR and communication activities
  • writing a press release in English and German
  • organizing the press conference of the OSCEDays in Berlin
  • getting in touch with press and media
  • …

Is there anybody who wants to take this over or who knows somebody we might support us in this?

Please feel free to add ideas, comments, suggestions!

@Lars2i: where should we post this task? should we split it into global PR and PR for the Berlin event?

Thank you! :smile:

Hi!

Myself and @TechnicalNature have started on this! It would be great to get your help though. We’ve started a list of blogs and media that we’d like to target, and I think we also have a draft press release.

I think @TechnicalNature also has a draft plan in place for what the communications ramp up might look like over the next few weeks (I might be wrong though) :smile:

Hi @sharmarval @sophia - Great!!!
Yes I made a start (linked to the timeline and also some initial areas in the READ ME (which is a wiki so please feel free to add key points directly).
I still need to change the timeline into a clearer format/ tasks since the move to Own Cloud.

Regarding the PR - we were talking about this previously to make a basic/ standard Global one - example and then a version/ example for local organisers to tweak for their application.
Will do one/ both this week and share with those who want to help for refinement. As well as this get the links to the blog/ newsletter etc to link too (will be good to ramp up early May).
Alongside this we’re going to do a mini launch/ challenge and platform intro and communication on the 11th (month before). This is something that we can also encourage globally. So I don’t think however we will be doing a specific Press Conference event here but more or a pre-meet workshop intro.

@sophia

hi, thanks, yes, i think you should post a similar request in the Berlin Category - just for the german event and press coordination team. We can start to develop the local PR from there and align it with the global one.
