This seminar will show practitioners how the convergence of traditional and social media management achieves the best balance for getting the word out about your product, service and brand. We’ll be talking about:

1. Managing traditional media – Print and broadcast media 

2. Managing social media – blogs, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and emerging technologies 

More importantly, this session will provide practical advice on building more efficient, higher impact use of media relations (print and broadcast) as well as social media. This will encompass useful tips that can be used right away, and frameworks for planning and managing scarce capacity.

This seminar is relevant to Owners and Managers who:

• want to cut through the clutter and communicate their brands through ‘free’ channels
• are leveraging various media today, but want bigger impact while streamlining efforts
