Attendees will learn how to survive and prosper in the PR space through traditional PR skills with cutting edge technology!
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 May 2014
Vocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading provider of cloud-based marketing and public relations software, today announced its latest in a series of educational webinars, “Future Skills for PR,” featuring CIPR Social Media Advisory Panellist Gabrielle Laine-Peters on May 12, 2014 at 3 p.m (BST).
During the webinar Laine-Peters will discuss:
· The importance of not becoming a victim of Digital Darwinism
· How good and relevant content is still king, though the delivery and tools may have changed
· How to build a new professional network, maintain and benefit from it
“The clue is in the title ‘Public Relations,’” said Laine-Peters. “We live and work in a world that is more connected and informed than ever before (Brian Solis calls it the C Generation - “C” for connected). As PR practitioners we need to stay informed, connected and cultivate professional relationships. Much of this information, thanks to social media and the 24-hour news cycle, is consumed in near real time. Adapting our skills is key to surviving and thriving in this new digital landscape.”
