Seminar Description:
One of the most difficult and confusing aspects of business has always been public relations and marketing. How do you get the media to take notice of you? How do you get the word out about your product? Now, that has been compounded with the ascension of “social media”, as whole new field of marketing.
Julia Wakefield is a public relations and marketing professional who currently works for Schwartz Media, a powerful public relations firm with clients such as the Miami Art Museum and the Adrienne Arsht Center. She is speaking on matters of marketing and media relations. Her topics include an overview of everything from starting a blog to creating a Facebook page to writing a press release. Plus, she is going to give tips on which media to contact, both locally and nationally. This is a seminar that no working artist should miss.
The night opens with time for socializing and networking with complimentary beverages and bites provided by Life Is Art. After the seminar, there is time for further specific questions and more networking. This is an excellent opportunity to come meet other working artists and arts professionals from around the area.
