We regularly update our ProfNet Connect calendar to include upcoming events we think will be of interest to PR and media professionals. Following is a summary of the events taking place over the next week or so:
EVENT: PR Newswire presents "Corporate Blogging Best Practices."
DATE: Tuesday, Sept. 25
LOCATION: WEBINAR
SUMMARY: "In addition to providing a dynamic vehicle through which to tell one's story and share one's voice, a company blog gives communicators an avenue to drive visibility for their organization, actively participate in timely conversations and amplify their company's level of influence through relevant and compelling thought leadership content. Despite the enormous amount of opportunity offered by blogs, a recent Blogging.org survey of over 1,000 bloggers revealed that a staggering 65% of company blogs haven't been updated in at least a year! Join us for this FREE member-only webinar as we provide best practice tips and examples to help you create a steady stream of blog content, raise the profile of your corporate blog and increase SEO and web site traffic."
