Destination Uppsala offers guidance on press releases

Destination Uppsala is now providing guidance on how to approach local media outlets and create effective press releases. The organization's Convention Bureau (UCB) has released instructions aimed at assisting businesses and event organizers in increasing their visibility within Uppsala's media landscape.

The guidelines offer advice on the structure of a press release, starting with location, date, and a compelling headline. Emphasis is placed on a concise summary of the news, followed by a more detailed description of the event and its connection to Uppsala. The inclusion of quotes that provide a personal voice and reinforce the key statements is particularly highlighted.

Destination Uppsala stresses the importance of including essential facts such as the number of participants, the event's duration, and its location. It is also advised to articulate what hosting the event means for the business or organization and what expectations they have for the participants.

Accompanying the announcement is a list of local media contacts that organizers can utilize for distributing their press releases. This includes, among others, the newspaper Upsala Nya Tidning (UNT), SVT Uppsala, the radio channel P4 Uppland, and Destination Uppsala's own event calendar.
