($379 per site - CDs available for purchase)

Most professional communicators concur that press releases have been reborn in this era in which newsrooms have been decimated and brands have been transforming themselves into content producers. At this webinar, you’ll learn how to craft the press releases that are most likely to connect with your target audience and be used by the journalists and influencers who matter most in your market.

At this Webinar, you'll learn how to:

  • Write killer, search-optimized press release headlines and leads that grab readers' attention
  • Manage edits from clients and colleagues that compromise the quality and effectiveness of your PR writing
  • Simplify your language and avoid the use of complex or vague industry jargon
  • Turn the executive quote from a generic placeholder into a powerful brand messaging tool
  • Craft releases that go beyond just “what, where and when” to “why” and “why now”
  • Include key supporting material that does journalists’ jobs for them
  • Focus on the benefits to the reader of your product or service in your written materials, instead of on its features and internally perceived uniqueness
  • Research target keywords and implement them to gain better visibility and increase brand exposure on search engines

Potent, well-written, useful press releases continue to be an essential PR tactic to deliver news to journalists, bloggers and other media outlets. They also provide shareable, informative content that spreads your brand message online to anyone who might be interested in your company or industry. As reporters and editors find themselves increasingly forced to do more with less, your well-crafted press releases can make their lives easier—and advance your company’s communications strategy.

Our trainers, Doreen Jarman of Tableau Software, Matt Flegal of Trulia and Andrew Hindes of The In-House Writer, will show you how to craft search-optimized and shareable press releases for the age of downsized newsrooms and media-savvy consumers.
