webinar

Following the success of our first online seminar (aka webinar) last month, we’ve organized similar sessions during the first quarter of 2009.

The 90-minute webinar How to Maximise Your PR Budget With Social Media is designed to introduce you to social media and give you some answers to topics like these:

• What ’social media’ is and where it fits alongside your traditional marketing and public relations
• How organizations large and small, public and private, are successfully leveraging social media for their communication programmes
• Engaging with online influencers: your route to your ‘new publics’
• Practical advice on monitoring and participating in online conversations: which tools to use and when to use them

The webinar comprises a 60-minute presentation followed by a discussion session of up to 30 minutes – the part where you can ask questions and offer your thoughts and perspectives related to your own organization and needs.

Sessions during the first quarter are planned for January 25, February 10 and March 10. In each case, we’re offering the webinar twice: the first at 11am GMT and the second at 11am PST, giving our clients and others interested a couple of options depending on their time zone.

There is no cost for participating and you can register your free place on the Bond-i website.

If you’d like to see what a Bond-i webinar is like, take a look at the video recording of one of the December sessions. It’s the full 90 minutes and you’ll hear the discussion that took place following the 60 minutes of presentation.

That video might be all you need in which case I hope you find it helpful. Let us know if so (and, equally, if not). But if you want to get real benefit, why not take part in one of the upcoming webinars? That way, you can raise issues specific to your organization, as I mentioned before.

And did I mention there’s no cost? So I hope you can join us.
