"How Come No One Knows About Us?"

Few things are as frustrating for small- to mid-sized businesses as feeling nearly invisible in a market where there is strong competition and a huge clutter of information.  Learning how to use public relations tools -- even on a small budget -- can help you cut through the clutter and reach your prospective clients and other important audiences so they'll sit up and take notice. 
 
Join us as Robb Deigh, principal of RDC Public Relations, LLC, conducts a highly practical and fun PR presentation that will give you dozens of ideas you can put into practice immediately to win attention even if you have no previous PR experience.  Deigh, a former national news reporter, book author and speaker who has a great track record for helping clients win attention, will show you how to 1) create and use the right messages, 2) tell your story so it sticks, 3) stay in touch with ALL of your contacts, 4) get written about in the press and 4) leverage that attention to win business.  All of that, using just a few minutes a week.
