Durham Business School Media Coverage
We hope that you may be interested to see a selection of the media coverage achieved for Durham Business School during recent months.
A presence across a wide range of media types is key to raising the profile of the School, its staff, students and activities. Achieving success in gaining coverage, both in the traditional printed media and online, is becoming ever more important in this increasingly media-conscious world.
Working closely with the School’s PR agency (NHPR) and the University’s Media Relations Team, we endeavour to respond to incoming media enquiries appropriately, as well as proactively seek out placement opportunities. We are frequently asked to provide case studies from our student and alumni communities and are most grateful to everyone who takes the time to assist in this way – thank you all.
