Examples press kit

Press kit - an important element for the work of journalists.Its shape allows you to build a plan conversation.Press kit (sample) may be supplemented or shortened depending on the requirements.

So, for example, consider a few samples.

first example

press kit filled with companies:
- double-sided press release with information about the new service company in the presence of background information about the direction of the company;

volume of material of the event is set out three sheets relating to the work of the Chamber of Commerce for the year 2000.

downside is the lack of ready-made folder header which replaces the rather broad informative string.

Content is devoted to analysis of the activities of the Chamber, a lot of space is devoted to the consideration of functional issues as well as future plans.The fact-sheet contains information about the group of companies that make up the American Chamber of Commerce.Also in the press release put final report, covering the volume of seven pages.

Since the company is calculated on the foreign consumer, all information is duplicated in English, and final statements are presented in the form of a booklet.

Example Three

course, while prints are gone, they just took a different form.Thus, almost any self-respecting publication has a page on the Internet, which is a direct copy of the magazine, but only in the network.

And journalists still can not do without your working folder.

Mechanical need for whales and media press releases retained its relevance, as the first form is the hallmark of any project, and the second is unthinkable without substantive content of content of any publication, and events for the presentation of the product or service.

PR-tools - mates on the way to the best solutions and the waves of information.
