Workshop: Trying to build press and partnerships? Small business owners, writers and online entrepreneurs easily find a wealth of social media suggestions at their fingertips!
But what about the “old school” strategy of getting into newspapers, magazines, news interviews and building community partnerships? Solid tips and publicity support can feel like shouting into the void of influencers and reinventing an obscure and undefined wheel.
Rebekah Manley combined her Public Relations degree, experience running the Texas Center for the Book and propensity towards partnerships to launch her book during the pandemic. She understands the power of a solid press release and media kit. You are free to replicate the wheel she invented with her interns—no more mystery and “going at it alone” marketing.
Learn how to create DIY publicity toolkits to:
● Garner local and personalized media attention
● Build organic partnerships with businesses, bookstores, community groups, libraries and more
● Use social media to market your book or small business and connect with fellow creatives.
Come with your curiosities, ideas and dreams to this workshop to nurture your professional and personal goals.
