“Social Publish: More Than a Press Release” – Thursday, February 16, 1 p.m. CST (2 p.m. EST)
Marketing has become a conversation among companies, customers and influencers. Communicators can’t simply issue a search-optimized press release and hope for the best: they need to tell their whole story in their own words to all their audiences across multiple social media platforms. In this webinar, Laurie Mahoney and Brandon Andersen will show how Cision Social Publish harnesses the power of PitchEngine to let you post and optimize all of your stories, news, videos, photos and more on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other sites. Using actual case studies, they’ll discuss social content optimization (SCO) and how to tell stories in the most compelling way, to more audiences, using more types of content.

Social media and the power of story telling can change the world. How can nonprofits and “cause marketers” use story-telling and social media conversations to build communities that further their cause? Heidi Sullivan and guest Shonali Burke, blogger (waxingunlyrical.com) and communications expert, will discuss the three fundamentals for smart community building and how to measure the impact of campaigns.
