PRSA EVENT DESCRIPTION

Online storytelling takes many forms. Infographics can help display complex statistics in a user-friendly, engaging way. Thanks toSerial, podcasts have never been hotter. And blogs are a tried-and-true way to share your story and your client’s story with your audiences.

Whether you’re blogging for your company or on behalf of multiple clients, or simply sharing your hobby with the world, success in the blogosphere comes to down to one thing – telling compelling stories that appeal to and reach your audience. Come hear how three regional bloggers did just that.

In the first week of PRSA’s Sunrise Seminar Series, you’ll learn how to launch a blog, find an audience, hone a voice and tell stories that grab and excite your readers.
