New Social Media Training Workshop for PR and Communications Professionals: Four One-Day Workshops Nationwide in August

PR and communications professionals who want to begin implementing today's powerful new social media strategies will find help in a new social media training workshop from Bulldog Reporter's PR University: The Social Media Bootcamp for PR Professionals.

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) July 4, 2008 -- This one-day workshop provides attendees with a comprehensive review of such social media techniques as SEO, corporate blogs, YouTube, RSS, Twitter, online newsrooms, Technorati and other emerging tools. They will also learn how to create a cost-effective social media communications strategy for their organizations.

These intensive one-day workshops will take place in four locations nationwide:

Chicago, IL - Monday, August 4

Washington, DC - Wednesday, August 6

New York, NY - Friday, August 8

Los Angeles, CA - Monday, August 11

These social media training workshops are taught by Sally Falkow and Doug Hay, two of the PR industry's top-rated trainers and digital PR consultants.

Bottom-line goal of this workshop is to help companies use social media tools to dramatically increase their visibility among today's new influencers in consumer and business-to-business marketplaces. Revealing case studies will demonstrate what works and what doesn't, including examples of failed and successful social media experiments and social media faux pas. Above all, this hands-on workshop will teach the skills necessary for crafting, implementing and measuring a high-impact social media plan, step by step.
