Event PR in Kenya — How to Get Maximum Media Coverage for Your Conference or Launch

You spend months planning an event. If nobody covers it, it might as well not have happened.

Here is how to get maximum media visibility for your conference, product launch or corporate event in Kenya:

📅 Before the Event — Build Anticipation

• 📢 Send a media advisory to journalists 2 weeks before — one page, key facts only
• 🎯 Personally call 3–5 journalists most relevant to your event topic
• 📱 Start a social media countdown — 10 days out, 5 days, 3 days, tomorrow
• 🎤 Announce key speakers early — their names carry media weight
• 🎥 Produce a 30-second teaser video for WhatsApp and Instagram

📸 During the Event — Capture Everything

• 📷 Have a dedicated photographer and videographer — not just someone with a phone
• 💬 Post live quote cards from speakers to your social media in real time
• 🎤 Set up a media corner — a space where journalists can do interviews easily
• 📰 Send a press release to media before the event closes (not after)
• 📹 Record 30-second clips of key moments for WhatsApp and Reels

📋 After the Event — Extend the Visibility

• ✉ Send a post-event press release with key outcomes and quotes within 24 hours
• 📸 Share a photo album on social media and tag all speakers and partners
• 📄 Produce a short event report — even 2 pages — for partners and media
• 🎬 Edit a 2-minute event highlight video for YouTube and social media
• 💌 Send personalised thank you notes to every journalist who attended or covered the event
