National Events Publicity & Scheduling

I have created a publicity schedule and process, which means events are currently publicised as follows before the closing date:

»News story & Flyer – 8 weeks

»First email to lists – 6 weeks

»Reminder email/carousel slide – 2 weeks

»Tweets, social media – 2 weeks to closing

I would like to know if this schedule and process works, whether it’s too much, or if you have any ideas or feedback?

Latest case study

Epping Forest College have introduced NUMU, a collaborative platform for music, to a group of their learners. This has benefited them enormously, as the platform has given the course more vocational relevance. Students have learnt how to promote themselves and their musical product online, work collaboratively, and review each others’ work constructively. The learners are now more engaged, enthused and challenged through using NUMU.
