SEMINAR "How to reach press as a designer"

How do you reach press as a designer? A question we now all have an answer for thanks to yesterday's seminar at the FFI. Three speakers with Belgian roots and years of experience shared their knowledge, experience and practical tips on the topic. That's how Trui Moerkerke - communication manager at Flanders DC - clearly remembers mailboxes frequently getting stuck at Knack Weekend because of the reception of lookbooks and press releases that were too heavy.
