Media Series: Part I
Twitter and PR - SOLD OUT!
Heard about Twitter but think it sounds like
a colossal waste of time? It can be if you’re
reading what others ate for lunch, but it can
be so much more for savvy public relations professionals
who understand how to use what is fast becoming
an essential, mainstream communications tool.
At this practical, hands-on session designed for
those new to Twitter, you’ll learn:
- What Twitter is and how to get started –
without the buzzwords and tech speak
- Ways to develop relationships with media
– including a weekly Twitter conversation
with journalists
- Which members of the Baltimore area media
are using Twitter
- How Twitter can become a powerful resource
for sharing PR knowledge
- Ways Twitter can help you uncover stories
in development – regionally and nationally
- Who some of the “must-follow”
PR and social media people are on Twitter
- Useful tools and techniques, including how
to use Twitter to monitor what others are saying
about your company
If you want to sign up for a free Twitter account
during the session, bring your laptop and you’ll
be guided through a step-by-step process that
will have you up and running in no time.
The workshop will be lead by Jeffrey A. Davis,
APR, past president of the Maryland Chapter of
PRSA and currently a partner with Sawmill Marketing
Public Relations, a Baltimore-based PR firm specializing
in media relations, media training, crisis communications
and social media. Davis co-authors a blog on public
relations trends, the PR Buzzsaw and uses @contactjeff
as his Twitter handle.
