COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA - April 2007 archive

2012 is providing a fantastic, but time constrained, opportunity for Communication & Public relations, Broadcasting and IT & Telecommunications businesses in Kent to raise their profile, nationally and even perhaps internationally. Visit latest news (link) to see what Kent businesses should be doing now.

With the Kent Strategy for the 2012 Games undergoing a soft roll out – Official Launch 14 May 2007 – all nine of the Campaign’s sectoral task groups have changed gear from planning into early delivery. The Communications and Media group is no different, and will be looking to meet with key county media partners over the next few months to discuss which elements of the Campaign they are most interested in; whether that be the local angle, the business angle or the up-and-coming athletes angle, and how we can work together to not only promote these, but really maximise them.

The group is also exploring how best we can promote Kent to the international media that we know will soon be focusing their lenses on London and the neighbouring areas, and from this enhance our international profile. With the support of a Kent County Council management trainee, as well as using the research already carried out by members of the Communications and Media group, we will be working with media partners abroad, in areas that neighbour Athens, Sydney, Turin and, looking ahead, Beijing and Vancouver – to identify what we can learn, adapt, and downright steal from previous Games “doorsteps”
