Promote news, jobs and events.
Pressburst helps independent schools communicate news stories, job vacancies and forthcoming events all from one easy-to-use system.
Pressburst is an online communications platform for publicising news, jobs and events. Pressburst is now used by over 500 independent schools to compose news stories, list job vacancies or highlight forthcoming events.
With Pressburst, you only need to upload your content once - you can then publish it to a growing number of exclusive channels, as well as directly to your own website, Twitter and Facebook accounts.
1. News
Pressburst radically simplifies the process of creating, publishing and promoting news stories to the media. As well as guiding you through the composition of the story, Pressburst simplifies social media, enabling you to post directly to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, as well as creating a professional press release.
2. Jobs
Pressburst makes listing and managing job vacancies easy. You can quickly and easily upload all the information, choosing when to start promoting the job. The vacancy is listed on a number of exclusive Channel Partner job portals relevant to your organisation, and can also be integrated into your own website.
3. Events
Pressburst helps you to gain as much publicity as possible for your forthcoming events. Add dates and events information fast and choose when to start promoting them. With integrated social media promotion, as well as via our exclusive Channel Partners, events gain maximum exposure.

It will cover all the essential ingredients of good quality news stories and help attendees to develop the skills to write effective copy and provide journalists with the information they require, ensuring schools maximise their chances of gaining good press coverage.

The second course, to take place on Tuesday 4th February, is for those who want to develop their skills further.
