"Pitch Perfect" PR Tips to help you DIY and Pitch Like A Pro

Public Relations.

You know PR could potentially help your business...BIG TIME. From newspaper coverage to TV appearances, even events and contributing articles for digital sites.

What you may not know is:

• How to do it yourself (DIY)
• Where to even begin pitching
• What to expect in terms of benefits
• How much it would cost if you hired a PR firm

That's why I've brought together three PR pros: former Today Show correspondent Diana Alvear, the current President of the Social Media Club Los Angeles (and PR pro) AJ Feuerman and PR pro (and former DC politico) Sheena Tahilramani to not only empower you to learn more about PR but to also get your own campaigns going...and growing!

Join us on Tuesday April 14th at the Microsoft Store Century City from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm for the "Pitch Perfect" panel on PR.
