The future of public relations relies heavily on interacting with individuals and companies online.  Building awareness and  brand recognition is only the first step.   What are you doing to make your news content and brand story easily found and talked about online?  In order to reach journalists, analysts, bloggers and influentials on the web, it’s essential that Public Relations and Communications professionals understand the role search and social media play with influencing information discovery, consumption and sharing.

At the annual PRSA International Conference on October 17th, TopRank Online Marketing CEO Lee Odden will provide Public Relations and Corporate Communications professionals with an exciting new roadmap to help “Optimize and Socialize” news content for better discovery through search and social media.

When it comes to a business’ online strategy, questions abound for social media practitioners about how to best leverage and integrate the many online marketing tools available.
