Creating an Effective Communication/PR Plan for your Brand

Last Thursday, we had a fabulous session on how to handle PR disasters, especially as a startup or small business/brand.

Tonight, we are taking it up a notch, by being proactive.

Communications, Public Relations, Brand Management, and Personal Branding.

These are the tools she will be sharing with us by 8 pm as we discuss 'Creating an effective Communication/PR Plan for your Brand.'

All those of us who attended last week's Lightbox session know the importance of this topic.
