Maximizing PR Program ROI:
Strategic Press Materials & Communications


Learn how to maximize the results of your PR program
by building your materials and executing your program strategically

Build a PR program that delivers impact from day one

When you are managing or directing MarCom - the disciplines of advertising, media planning, PR, lead generation, event management, the web, and collateral development (to name a few) are typically your responsibility.

But each of these areas demands a significant amount of time and attention in its own right, so it’s very easy to overlook the necessary detail required to make each component work in an integrated fashion with

the other components, and more importantly, to optimize the value of each component as an independent entity.

The discipline of PR is one that in most instances gets outsourced as it involves a lot of contact management, pitching and scheduling.  Professionals who have dedicated their careers to PR are the ones with the relationships to get stories placed and messages heard; however, there’s a lot of ‘infrastructure’ work that needs to take place to develop the messages, and communicate them in the appropriate fashion.  You can save your organization resource time and money if you take an active role in managing your PR efforts from Day One.  Taking a participatory role in the process will help you integrate your PR efforts with the rest of your MarCom program and manage your PR consultants more effectively.

In this seminar you will learn the ‘Do’s of PR and gain critical insight into how to integrate PR with the rest of your MarCom program – not treating it as a separate entity – to maximize your program ROI. You’ll also learn how to develop positioning, manage press releases, and develop press packets for maximum impact. Furthermore, you’ll receive a copy of the PR Acumen Guidebook & Toolkit (a $99 value) to help you implement what you learn in the e-seminar.

You will learn:
• The importance of branding, brand history, and the brand development process;
• What positioning is about and how to position your organization/product line;
• The role of ‘sound’ in your PR;
• How to develop a company blurb;
• What press materials need to go in a press packet (and in what order);
• How to develop a communications program;
• How to implement all that you’ve learned using practical tools, templates and a comprehensive, step-by-step GuideBook; and
• How to turn you and your team into indispensable executives generating
measurable results that impact the bottom line.

Who should attend:

Marketing Executives: MarCom Coordinators, MarCom Managers, MarCom Directors, Marketing Directors, Advertising Coordinators, Ad Managers, Product Marketers, PR Coordinators, Corporate Communications Managers, PR Managers or people new to marketing or PR [or who are interested in marketing or PR] that want valuable knowledge and the necessary tools to make their communications efforts a success!
