If the world of Public Relations mystifies you, or if your PR efforts aren’t as successful as you’d like them to be, this webinar is for you. Sign up to get the scoop from an insider who works in the library press and consults on library marketing and PR.

Many people who work in libraries aren’t trained in journalism or PR, and simply do the best they can when trying to get the attention of the media and the public. Knowing the right tactics and strategies can make a big difference in whether your messages are really heard, understood, and remembered. In this hour-long session, you’ll learn:

What’s the difference between public relations, publicity, promotion, and marketing?
Why branding and planning matter in PR strategy
How to use the “so what?” test
How can I decide whom to reach out to, and what’s the best way to reach them?
Why and how to build relationships with members of the media
What makes a message effective or ineffective?
Why does the media ignore my press releases and phone calls?
Basic guidelines for the “accidental” PR person
