The Pre-Luncheon Workshop on September 14 is from 8 a.m. - 11 a.m. with PR News' Platinum PR Awards Luncheon starting at noon. Both events will be held at the Grand Hyatt in New York City.
Social media has changed the way most of us write, and the danger for PR professionals is that they may be adopting the worst habits of the social Web and forgetting that clarity and effectiveness in writing remains a bedrock skill and the ultimate differentiator. Join PR News for this Sept. 14 workshop that will enable you to apply key writing tactics to this age of the hashtag, and give your messages the edge over your competition across all social media platforms.
Our trainer will show you how to write compelling content for the Web, blogs and social media; avoid grammar pitfalls; write press releases to grab media attention; and optimize your copy for search. You’ll walk away with a sharper set of writing skills to lead your communications team and stay one step ahead of the competition.
As a communicator, you know the importance of great writing and compelling storytelling. But given the enormous amount of information published online daily, press releases, Web site content, tweets and Facebook posts need to be well-crafted to break through the clutter. Powerful writing on the Web and in social media can engage followers, attract media coverage or drive new customers or clients to your brand.
At this 3-hour workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Write engaging blog posts
- Avoid common grammar mistakes
- Craft tweets that stand out in a crowd
- Create content that rises to the top of Facebook’s news feed
- Write compelling Web copy
- Optimize press releases and headlines to generate media coverage
- Create an online newsroom that engages the media
- Write copy that is optimized for search
- Write content that is shareable on social media
- Establish a content strategy and editorial calendar
