 Have you ever been asked for a professional photo from a press or public
relations representative for time sensitive coverage--and did not have
one available? Ever wonder how your competitors secure press
coverage (i.e. blogs, magazines, newspapers, radio shows) and you have
not? Whipped up an electronic or print message to the press and
rarely received any response?
If you answered yes to any of the above
questions, it may be time to reassess your approach by speaking with
three of
Orange County's distinguished media experts during AeA Orange County Council's Meet the Media Mixer,
Tuesday, May 20, 2008, from 5:30PM –
8:30PM, at Dave & Busters, Irvine. The mixer is a Growth
Matters event and is open to AeA members and non-members. This is a
valuable occasion for marketing and public relations professionals, or
tech executives who do not have PR resources. Admission is $35
Members/ $45 Non-Members. Click
here to register. See below for
additional registration details.
 The evening will kick-off
with attendees networking, while enjoying a light dinner buffet,
followed by a panel of media professionals discussing how to get your
news published and broadcasted. Topics to be discussed at the panel
will include: What goes into creating a successful public relations
campaign, what makes for building effective relationships with the
press and bloggers, and how to leverage social media to generate buzz? These
questions and others will be answered during this
event.
Scheduled Panelist:
With the discussion moderated by Cara Good, chief executive officer,
WunderMarxPR Inc., panelists will
include Linda Melone,
OC Metro Business, Colin Stewart,
The Orange
County Register, and Sara Tolkoff,
Orange County Business Journal.
"Reading books and theories are okay, but
nothing compares to this exclusive opportunity to speak directly with
the sources responsible for getting credible messages out to millions of
readers, viewers, and listeners who are your customers," said Don Hicks,
AeA OC Executive Director. "OC Meet The Media is in alignment with my
vision to deliver to AeA members and colleagues quality events that
build their resources and networks."

special question that has been on your mind and you would like it
answered during the event, please email it to Program Marketing Manager Yalanda
