The "O" Factor: How President Obama Used Social Media to Launch a Campaign of Change – and How You Can Too!
President Obama's quest for the Oval Office raised the bar for political campaigns. Utilizing the right ingredients -- e-mail blasts and e-mobile interface, Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites for instant grassroots organizing, video-sharing YouTube, an online donation machine that reached even low dollar givers, and a rapid response push back operation called www.fightthesmear.com -- Obama's Internet strategy proved a winner. Join us for this webinar as panelists discuss how savvy image-makers maximized new media for momentous results.

Keeping Up Client–Agency Relationships
Corporate communicators, agency executives and boutique owners must speak the language of the CEOs and CFOs and/or procurement officers. How do both sides of this relationship help each other look good? And just how are we measuring campaign success these days? This panel will examine the most effective ways for the agency team to help develop the vision and provide strategic counsel when the client is stretched thin and must present tangible results. Panelists also talk about the metrics being used to show the client or the corporate boss that your PR efforts have indeed made a difference.

Join us for a frank discussion about survival in these hard economic times.
Panelists will touch upon relevant topics such as:
• Finding career opportunities
• Transforming and transitioning into other careers
• Positioning and projecting yourself as the "go-to" person
• Reputation management and marketing your successes
