No more excuses, especially for business owners. A two day interactive workshop to help people learn how to get media exposure for their business and how to use social media.
Unsure of how to go about using social media and want to do your own PR? This is a workshop that is interactive…meaning you will actually learn step by step how to set up a blog, put a profile on Facebook and use Twitter. And, for those folks who don’t want to invest in a good PR person, basics for PR and finding news stories for your biz. You can take both classes or just one.

PRESS RELEASE:
Are you socially acceptable? Intensive, hands-on PR and social media workshop for businesses
Ever wondered what it takes to get on the local TV station or in the newspaper? Completely confounded by how to use Facebook or Twitter? Charlotte Risch of Phoenix based PR firm The Media Push, and Amanda Blum of marketing and design firm Howling Zoe Productions are taking a hands-on approach to teach Valley businesses how to best publicize themselves in the Web 2.0 world. Their workshop, “Are you Socially Acceptable” will take place at Jobing.com Main offices in Phoenix on December 16 and 17th.
Many businesses wonder how to promote their own business if they don’t hire a publicist. Is writing a press release or pestering a journalist the way to do it? On the first day of “Are you Socially Acceptable?” Charlotte Risch will get down and dirty about what works to get publicity and what won’t. From basic tips, such as how to find the newsworthiness of a business, to ways of maximizing your media exposure, students will walk away with information they can use immediately.
On day two, Amanda Blum will cut through the confusion of web 2.0 by asking everyone to open their laptops and actually go through the steps to easily create profiles and manage sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Flickr. Students will learn to setup and navigate a Wordpress blog, and an online press center. Discussion will include how to create a social media policy for your business or organization, the Social Media Press Release, and how to use social media ethically.
“Everyone is telling businesses they should use social media, but no one is showing you how to use it” says Amanda Blum, instructor. “After this class, businesses will walk away and be able to confidently promote their organization both on and offline.” Says Charlotte Risch, “this is a tremendous value for any small business person or organization, the new economy demands we all become promoters of our brand”.
“Are you Socially Acceptable?” will take place on Tuesday, December 16 and Wednesday, December 17th at Jobing.com Main Offices 2nd Floor Classroom at 4747 North 22nd Street, Suite #100 in Phoenix, AZ 85016. To register or learn more, go tohttp://www.areyousociallyacceptable.com
