Handle Your Publicity Outreach Or It Will Handle You
Public relations, marketing and business owners pick the brains of members of the media at the Meet the New Media, October 12, 2011 from 9:45 to 11:30 a.m. It will be to be held at the Center for Creative Marketing, 3801 Wake Forest Road in Raleigh.
Online, October 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Business leaders from all over the state will come together at the Center for Creative Marketing. Over 100 publicity seekers will come to have a personal dialog with reporters from radio, television, print and social media. Small businesses looking to generate buzz about their companies, what they're up to and what's new for the Holidays can find an open ear and some good advice and counsel at this forum, which will be held on Wednesday, October 12, 2011.
Meet the Media events have been an integral part of building relationships with journalists, editors and reporters in North Carolina since 1999. No other venue offers the opportunity to speak one-on-one with this caliber of journalists so conveniently and cost-effectively. The media offers tips to get their attention, gain trust with the media outlet and adhere to their sometimes stringent editorial standards - most of which a small business owner or entrepreneur is not aware of - and think they must hire a high paid public relations firm to get heard. "Which can't be farther from the truth," laughs Rebecca Antonelli, founder of this event. People come with questions about how to build mutually beneficial relationships with key members of the media. Attendees will get insight on deadlines, media pitching and most importantly, how a Public Relations piece can end up as a cover story.
With the Holiday season right around the corner, October 12th's media panel will include reporters in search of ideas, trends, new products and services for the upcoming 2011 Holiday season. Attendees are invited to bring along samples, media kits and their best "pitch."
Meet the New Media panelists for this event will include the editor of The Independent Weekly, Lisa Sorg; 97.5 radio personality Brian Dawson; a reporter from WRAL-TV and the News and Observer, as well as a social media expert. Meet the Media - Where hot companies with cool products, ideas and services meet the new media.
