The Press Release Doesn’t Work Any More. Here’s What Does.
Speaker: Marianne Griebler


Hurray! The traditional press release is dead, and that’s actually great news for you. There are plenty of new tactics and tools—lots of them free—that can create the awareness you need for your business. We’ll explore:

  • Powerboosting your existing marketing plans and ad buys with earned (free) media
  • Using social media to listen to (not talk at) your customers
  • Identifying key influencers and motivating them to drive new clients to your business
  • Getting your staff on board with the right promotional messages
  • Inspiring others to sing your praises (because no one wants to hear it from you)

Marianne Griebler is a marketing communications consultant who helps clients build strong relationships with their target audiences through content and strategy. Her insights on branding have been featured on U.S. News and World Report, ABC News Australia, 9News Denver, CNBC, Inc., PR Daily, and more. She was named a LinkedIn Top Marketing and Social Media Voice in December 2015 and is a proud member of the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce.
