Bring your team to this must-attend media relations workshop. Take away smart tips, tools and next practices for managing and improving your media relations initiatives.
In this information-packed workshop, (before the same day PR People Awards Luncheon and a day before the Facebook Conference ), you’ll get the tactics and strategies you need to build the right relationships with the right reporters and media outlets. You’ll learn how to identify the media influencers of your brand or your organization and monitor and act on what’s being said – or not said. At this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to communicate with the media by leveraging social media. Whether it’s via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+, you’ll learn the best strategies for building meaningful relationships with the media. You’ll get the skinny on how reporters are using social media to cover their markets. And you’ll find out how you fit in – and how you can partner with the media online.
The Media Relations 2.0 Workshop is for communicators who still value media relations and recognize that the landscape has dramatically changed. It’s for PR professionals who understand the power of social media but are looking for the smartest and most effective ways to leverage these platforms and break through the noise to improve their media relations.
This 3-hour workshop will cover these key areas:
- Online newsrooms
- Storytelling techniques
- Optimized press releases
- Listening and monitoring campaigns
- Generating buzz
- Video creation and dissemination
- Online groups where journalists hang out
- Crisis management online
- Twitter chats
- LinkedIn strategies
- Facebook etiquette
