Training & Two Hour Takeover

Do you have a super-talented in-house marketing team that is under pressure?

Do you have a team that works on your PR and marketing that would benefit from further learning?

Or do you currently do your own PR and marketing alongside the day job?

No matter how your business is set up, we offer PR and social media training and support through our Two Hour Takeovers… or why not book us to train at an event?

We offer a variety of training and mentoring options to suit different businesses, all of which can be hosted virtually via a video-conferencing tool, or can be done face-to-face at our Wellington office or in your office.

We are experienced speakers and have attended conferences and training events in our role as PR consultants, digital specialists and former journalists - if you are looking for a guest speaker on communications we can help!

Training and Two Hour Takeover

Our training services

Does your marketing team need an update on social media algorithms? 

A best-practice lesson for social media usage? 

Tips on writing a press release?

Support with creating a blog and content plan for the next 12 months?

Perhaps you as the business owner, HR manager or marketing manager want to know more about specific areas of PR and social media management to ensure you can support your team adequately?

We’re the people to help with our Two Hour Takeovers.

Guess how long we spend training your team with a completely bespoke session designed for your industry, business and team members? It’s a tough one...

Many of our training clients bring us into their business every quarter to enhance the knowledge of their in-house teams. We cover whatever area you need in our Two Hour Takeovers and tailor each session to your business and its needs.

The best part? Most of our Two Hour Takeovers and bespoke training sessions are virtual, so you can use J&PR no matter where you are in the UK! Of course, if you’re Shropshire or Telford based, you’re welcome to visit us at our Wellington office for your session - the kettle is always on!

In-house training can sometimes leave staff members feeling pressured to still check their emails or answer the phone (especially if it’s virtual!).

Letting your team escape the office for a few hours, or even a full day, means that your team can concentrate on the task at hand - PR and marketing.

J&PR is proud to be an approved trainer of the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and hosts the DIY PR and Social Media Training courses, including LinkedIn and Instagram.

We also attend various networking and conference events across Shropshire and beyond as guest speakers to talk all things s social media management, blogging, PR strategy, e-newsletters, event management and more! 

If you’re hosting an event and you’d like J&PR to attend as guest speakers, get in touch!

Have you ever sent a member of your team on a training course and they’ve returned with plenty of new knowledge, but they’re not sure how best to apply it to your industry?

We can create a half-day or full-day bespoke training course specifically tailored for your business and industry.

A bespoke training course ensures what your team is learning is relevant to your business and is hosted at a time, and location, suitable for you and your team.

If you’ve got 50 branches across the UK or partners around the globe, a training session in Shropshire is not what you need.

Luckily, J&PR offers virtual training to clients, enabling staff all over the world to join our Two Hour Takeovers. 

Not only that, you don’t have to spend most of your day in the car travelling to us either!

We work with the global brand Jesmonite which is based in South Shropshire but has distributors and customers all over the world. Our industry-specific virtual PR and social media training has allowed its worldwide partners to join us.

What our clients say

 

It has given my skill base an additional aspect. I will be discussing the need to have a ‘blog’ button on our new website.

I need to discriminate between press release news and more personalised stories which blogging will allow me to do. Great morning. Thank you.
