Throughout your venture building journey, you will encounter various opportunities to tell your story and promote your solution through the media. When done right, these occurrences can have a huge impact on your venture, leading to spotlight you can leverage to further your message and brand awareness across the media landscape.

Join us August 5 to hear from Bruce Claggett, Director of Media Relations at Switchboard Public Relations, for this workshop which will provide you with a working overview of how venture-centric entrepreneurs can navigate today’s media so their stories land with the right audience and their objectives are met.

This 90-minute online workshop will help those at the start of their journey define their story goals, identify existing media opportunities, and develop a checklist for reaching out to news and other content based organizations in 2022 and beyond. Challenges will be addressed in a Question and Answer portion that uses real examples.

Switchboard Public Relations helps innovators and impact-makers create positive change by driving PR campaigns and communication strategies that get results.
