BSA 231 W11 : Media Releases

I had a small hand in the distribution of the media releases to media outlets this week - which essentially consisted of googling how to compose an email for a media release (https://fitsmallbusiness.com/how-to-send-a-press-release/).

Example of Email we set up:

Hi,

 I'm De la Rey Myburgh the advertising head for the upcoming student run exhibition "Think and Create." Formerly known as the Southsure Emerging Artist Awards the SIT hosted award show has recently been re-branded. The Purpose of this event is to celebrate the work of creative talent and to provide more opportunities to artists residing in Invercargill.

 We are seeking to create awareness for our event and I have attached a press release with details. Would you be willing to do a piece to help inform the local community about Think and Create? We would like to get the leader of the event's organization, Royce Trounsen, as well as one of our MC's on air if possible. 

More FM's wide reach will be a massive help in expressing our aims with this event and creating a greater awareness to art in the area. Thank you so much for your time, please get back to me if you are interested in discussing further.

Faithfully,

De la Rey M
