Brainstorm ideas for newsjacking
Leveraging media events and awareness days is a great way to associate your brand/organisation with a cause or to gain extra media attention. We've made this even easier by introducing an AI-powered brainstorming tool for media events.
Brainstorm
When you click on an event in the calendar the event details will appear. Along with the event details, you can also find our Brainstorm tool. Simply click on the Brainstorm button and our AI-powered tool will generate a list of ideas to leverage the event for media attention.
Please note that these are generic ideas not tailored to specific organisations or industries.
Viewing options to reduce clutter
In order to reduce clutter and make the calendar easier for you to use, we've separated longer events from the main calendar and introduced a list view.
Awareness months and long events
Awareness months (such as Dry July) and events that are longer than 1 week have been moved to a panel to the right of the calendar. This allows you to quickly identify larger opportunities to leverage and include in your media strategy.
