PRESS RELEASE

Online PR platform JournoLink partners with the Chartered Institute of Marketing 

Online PR platform JournoLink has partnered with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) to make the JournoLink platform available to CIM members.

As businesses emerging from the coronavirus pandemic look to manage their budgets in line with their cash flow challenges, JournoLink enables marketing professionals and consultants to manage their own PR, and that of their clients cost effectively and efficiently.

Gemma Butler, director of marketing of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, commented, “We are keen to help members by providing them with services that we believe will be attractive to them, both from a cost perspective and in their professional capacity.  We see the JournoLink platform as one of those services and look forward to working with the JournoLink team in supporting members as they look to rebuild their businesses, and their client’s businesses after the difficult period that we have all been through.”

Peter Ibbetson from JournoLink added, “The platform we have developed in JournoLink provides all the key features that are needed for PR management, and is particularly well suited to marketing professionals who either manage the PR for their own businesses, or manage the marketing and PR for their clients. Working with the CIM to help their members makes a great deal of sense and we are pleased to be supporting them and their members.”

CIM members will be able to access the JournoLink service from the 27 August via MyCIM: https://my.cim.co.uk/mycim/resources/journolink/
