Public Relations 101

The nuts and bolts of boosting your public relations power

We often hear people say public relations is the best marketing you can do because it's free and it's easy. It is a fabulous tool, but it's not exactly free and it's definitely not easy. A great public relations program is part art, part science and lots of hard work. Where do you start?

If you want to boost awareness for your organization you'll love this workshop. We'll define why you need a pr strategy in the first place; give you some tips and tools for working effectively with journalists, writing press releases, and media alerts, interviewing and more. You'll also walk away with a new-found understanding of what makes news, how to get your message out, and how to choose the best public relations tools for your organization.

Need a public relations strategy? DON'T PANIC! We can help.
