In today's market, the media no longer controls the message. Internet-savvy consumers now access the same information resources as reporters—and they don't want a filter. Does your PR speak directly to consumers, or are you still relying on the media to do your talking for you?

Depending on reporters to tell your story may mean missing the chance to get your news directly into the hands of your consumers.

Direct-to-Consumer public relations takes the message straight to the decision-maker—your consumer. It means re-thinking your whole approach, reworking your PR tools, and completely revising your approach to public relations.

In this 90-minute seminar you'll:

  • Discover which stories work best for the media—and which have direct-to-consumer power
  • Begin to look at your product—and your PR—the way your customer sees it
  • Find out why today's consumer relies on self-service news to make buying decisions
  • Learn how to keep the best of traditional media while adding the got-to-have-it direct-to-consumer punch
