WordCamp Europe’s organising team consists of smaller groups of organisers with an explicit purpose. It is easier for the teams to work more focused and specialised and add to the common goal.
One of the teams is PR Team.
You all have in mind what PR means, and you may be guessing what the PR Team does yearly for WordCamp Europe. The PR Team’s responsibility is to ensure the news about the event is delivered to as many people as possible around the globe. The Public Relations Team is the publicity strategist and campaign planner aiming to increase awareness around the event and keep building the WCEU brand by working closely with the Communications Team.
Every year the PR Team’s tasks include:
- Updating a media list with media outlets from around the globe around the WordPress ecosystem and not only
- Sharing newsletters and press releases with the media outlets, including the most important or breaking news
- Selecting the Media Partners and Supporters that are helping us spread the news and get the word of WordCamp Europe out there
- Updating the Press Page on the WCEU website for anyone willing to share the news
- Dealing with enquiries from the press and the public as well as other media outlets
- Arranging interviews among the media Partners and Supporters and members of the organising team, speakers and sponsors
- Facilitating the interviews at the Media Rooms during the event
- Live Stream Studio interviews around the Community
- Co-operating with all the teams to find the most interesting news.
