We’re back at Advertising Week Europe for 2025—and once again, we’re putting media relations under the microscope.
Join us on the Entertainment Stage for our session—Crack the Code: Industry Journalists Tell All—where we’ll be diving into what really makes a story stand out to journalists in today’s fast-moving media landscape.
Hosted by our Group Director of Content Branwell Johnson, this session is a must-attend for anyone looking to understand the priorities of top journalists and how to boost their business profile. It’s an essential session for comms professionals, start-up entrepreneurs and agency and brand C-suite execs.
We’re thrilled to be joined by a stellar panel of media insiders, including:
- Maria Iu, Deputy Editor, The Media Leader
- Gideon Spanier, UK Editor-in-Chief, Campaign
- Lara O'Reilly, Senior Correspondent, Insider
- William Turvill, Chief Business Correspondent, The Sunday Times
These seasoned pros will share real-world insights into how they decide what stories to cover, what makes a pitch sink or swim and how best to build valuable relationships with the press.
What you’ll learn:
- What the media prioritise for editorial coverage
- How to shape a compelling story that cuts through
- Best practices for engaging with journalists
Don’t miss it. Whether you’re crafting a launch campaign or trying to build long-term brand awareness, this panel will give you the insider edge you need.
