Media were invited to an exclusive preview of the installations and to meet the artist. Traditional and online media were informed (press release and outreach) to generate coverage ahead of the conference. Slinkachu shared pictures on his own channels...

Postcards and posters using photos of the installations and the headline “Why is is so hard to find a job?” with a link to the live-streaming were distributed in universities and other locations. We reached out to 98 bloggers. We contacted 578 journalists, and did a personal follow-up with 119 of them.
