| Remember
the good old days of 1999 when PR budgets were as limitless as the
number of stock options you were going to cash in and retire on?
Oh, well...back
to reality.
These days,
everyone is trying to make do with less. Less money. Less staff
support. And less media vehicles to run your story. This is especially
true for Technology Marketers, whose budgets have fallen faster
and more dramatically than the NASDAQ.
As advertising
budgets have vanished, PR has become more important than ever as
the primary means of broad-based communications. Yet PR budgets
haven't grown to support this increased responsibility. Which leaves
PR folks with the challenge of delivering caviar-like results on
a peanut butter budget.
Find out how
to do just that at an all-new PR Bootcamp: Making the Most of Your
PR Budget.
Presented
by the Software Council of Southern California, this event will
feature a group of Southern California's most high-powered PR industry
experts sharing tips and useful information on making your PR dollars
do more.
