Webinars
Social Media: Beyond Just Traffic Building (9/5/12)
| Having a presence and pushing content on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn is both a big opportunity and a challenge for publishers. But to succeed, social media has to be treated as its own environment, not just an add-on for other editorial and sales channels. Here from top editors and media marketers on how to determine objectives, drive engagement and make social media pay for your brand. |
Introduction to Business Reporting: (10/10/12)
| Every market is different but the core of business journalism remains the same: identify the issue, illustrate how it’s being addressed, and present the outcome and solution. But business reporting requires an understanding of business itself. This webinar offers editors a course must-have knowledge including understanding and knowing what to look for in financial statements and how to apply that to a larger understanding of their market. |
Designing a Tablet Edition for B-to-B: (11/7/12)
| Tablet editions are a priority for many b-to-b publishers but the quickest way to lose your audience is offering a frustrating experience. Facsimiles of print editions don’t work anymore, but neither do bells and whistles that impress the edit and design staff more than the reader. This webinar offers a primer in creating a winning experience for your user on the tablet, from layout and design to extra features that make sense (and identifying those that don’t). This webinar offers a look forward at how tablet design and creation will be changed by emerging systems such as HTML5. |
Transforming Your Sales Force: Developing a Consultative Seller (12/5/12)
| Publishers and media companies never stopped selling. But one-sheets and straight pitches don’t cut it anymore. Media sales forces today have to be expert not only in select media channels (print, digital, events), they have to take a consultative approach to develop an integrated, recurring solution for the client. Join us as leading experts offer tangible takeaways for junior and mid-level salespeople on starting conversations with clients, understanding their needs, creating the right pricing packages and producing surefire projects that stay in the black and win a loyal customer. |
