i wish you well but look before you leap
AMERICANS PREFER TO GIVE IT A BETTER NAME "LOBBYING" so that you know what you are going into

Thats a misrepresentation?How can you equate PR with lobbying?Am sure you are not a practitioner

@jummy4real
could u pls tell me of any good training courses/programmes in copywriting that u know of?

@biggerboy

u are right, he is not one

@ndubest
I think you need enlightenment on what PR is all about. Its not only smiling and opening of teeth as you think of it. It is all about Image making and reputation management [i][/i]of a company.

There is no professional that can do without it.
Is it a Doctor
Lawyer
Business Man
Market women
or even you

I advise you go for a course in it, and you will Know what it is all about.
Cheers

jummy, hello.

was wondering how you can help me out. i am interested in going into copywriting and i just need access to like write a test or something.

would really appreciate any help you can render in this regard

but an sure int involve in APCON'S curriculum/lectures( see their site- http://www.apcon.gov.ng/forms.html#student)

though i would like to know if there is any other proper training on copy writing too!


any help?

@idagu
I wouldnt mind if you enlighten me on what you do in PR apart from meeting people and convincing them or selling your ideas to them in order to improve the cooperate and over all financial image of your institution or your brand

what else is PR?

sure am not a practioner

but may be you need to read about what happens in capitol hill to understand what am talking about

you know here people see lobbying as a negative thing as they equate it to bribery (which is not the case)

think broader than the nigerian context if you are in PR and you hope to someday make it BIG TIME

when bills are passed in US congress or senate, what do you think happen over there?

except if you are seeing PR in a small persepective of only cooperate "image washing" and forget about what follows after the washing

Good luck practioners but better explain to your apprentice the whole details start to finish even if it is the responsibilty of another person to play the other part of the game.

hey pals.how y,all doin?pls i was hoping anyone knew where to go to get photography training.i mean in nigeria.pls i need it fast.its really slowing me down.thanks reply

You can attend Advertising Practitioners’ Council of Nigeria (APCON) for copy writing training.  Download their form here http://www.apcon.gov.ng/forms.html

You can also talk to Paul Ugoagwu.  He’s a copywriting guru in one of the leading agencies, he’s the head of Creative Department.  Not only that he’s their copy writing lecturer in APCON.  He’s also one of the columnists in the sun newspaper he writes on advertising every Thursdays.

Jummy thank you so much really appreciate the info. God bless you real good.

Jummy, I've checked the the APCON site, I didn't see a breakdown of the courses they have in order to know which one suits my need most. I forgot to tell you that I work outside Lagos, how's that gonna sync?

In nigeria,what does the career pathway of an intending PR practitioner look like? How relevant is NIPR? Someone please shed some more light please,

thanks for always being there jummy.

am presently taking a course in copywriting and i will soon be through with it.

please can you tell me my prospects in the Nigerian market and also how to get connected for a good work.

yicob, pls where r u taking ur copywriting course?

Hi all,
I am a copywriter and i work with one of Nigeria's biggest advertising agencies. Those interested in Copywriting, you can get a wonderful experience on creative writing for the advertising industry at a school called The Orange Academy. They have produced many great young copywriters who are always snapped up by ad agencies immediately they graduate. My agency currently has five graduates of Orange Academy in its employment, and i tell you, they are hot. You can visit their site for more information. www.orangeacademy.net

@lawyerchap
for you to know I've really been searching, I've already gotten in touch with Orange, spoke to a chap named Stanley. Their next course is not till February and I understand it's a six week course. Perfect, çept that it's in Lagos and I don't live in Lagos. other ideas Lawyer, pleassse?

please whatsup with orange,

how much is their school fees?

hey jummy well said ! _{i am sure u know me}

@Junegirl
I don't know what you do but if you can take out 6 weeks and come to lagos for the course, you will definitely not regret it. I guarantee that if you have even the slightest bit of creativity in your body, you will be snapped up by an ad agency once you graduate. Think about it. Outside that, i'm all out of ideas on how you can get tht training in Abuja.

am kind of interested in orange academy but any alumni or fact about the experience would help pls

are there HRs from agencies available to pick one up upon graduation? And will a certificate be issued?

thanks lawyerchap. Seems Orange Academy's willing to come to Abuja, so everyone living in Abuja and environs be on the look out

yicob:

@Yicob
At the graduation ceremony there is an exhibition of the advertising created by the students and there is always a crowd of agency people looking for bright new talent to recruit. And yes, a certificate will be issued.
