NCCC – Bush food farming on offer at new training facility

Barefruit was engaged by North Coast Community College to assist with creating media buzz about the opening event of their new Primary Industries Training Centre. Our PR strategy involved sending out a press release to the media before and after the event. As such, our efforts were recognised, with most of our local publications writing about and attending the event. One of the articles from the media came from the Northern Star.

Our for creating media buzz involved a new approach to sending out a Press Release. Instead of a blanket email to all journalists and editors, we hand-picked the publications we wanted this story to run in - there were about 8-10 publications. We then sent out our Press Release to those journalists and editors, and a few hours later, followed up our email with a call. Doing so, helped us to ensure the journalists had seen our Press Release and gave us the opportunity to summarise it quickly over the hone. We were also able to convey our excitement and a few extra details in conversation to hype up the story too. This approach was successful for 90% of the publications we reached out to - huge win!

NCCC – the Ballina Advocat – Bush Food opens doors for employment

A Press Release, written by Barefruit, engaged the interest of a Ballina Advocate journalist. As part of a Public Relations strategy for the launch of the North Coast Community College (NCCC) Primary Industries Training Centre, Barefruit created hype about its opening event. Javier Encalada, journalist At the Ballina Advocate, joined us at the Primary Industries Training Centre opening event in early September 2020.

Javier took a different angle on the opening event and focused on how the new training centre and qualifications. He explained how the centre will provide opportunities for the community to learn the tradition culture of the local area. Javier interviewed Tracey King, who is the NCCC's Cultural Trainer, gaining great insight into her opinions about the new facility and it's importance in sharing local, traditional knowledge with everyone.

Barefruit was briefed by North Coast Community College to engage the attention of the media for the opening of the new Primary Industries Training Centre. The team is very proud to be working on such an important initiative. Read more about the project here.
