Content Strategy Bootcamp:

How To Think & Act Like a Publisher

New Dates, TBD

In today's media-rich world opportunities abound for small and large businesses, non-profits and government agencies to build audience and engage with communities by publishing and distributing content.

Increasingly, the mantra of "think and act like a publisher" is touted as a key to success for contemporary marketing communications and PR, especially when it comes to engagement through social media and social networking channels.

The problem is, most people who need to market by "thinking and acting like a publisher" have little to no concept of what this statement means and what it entails.

Yet, for those who embrace the concept, the rewards can be rich, from lead generation to e-commerce sales to affecting public opinion, and more.

In this 2-day bootcamp, leading consultants and strategists will provide participants with the specific tools, techniquese and tactics that businesses, non-profits and government agencies need in order to "think and act like a publisher" to achieve marketing success.

Creating a Future for Sustainable Visual Journalism

Visual journalism is a sector of news reporting that is largely untapped, yet has tremendous opportunities in the current era of New Media evolution. From video on YouTube, to interactive eBooks such as Apple's new iPad, there's a virtually endless number of outlets for visual journalism.

However, there is a gap between content creators and their audiences, and revenue models to underwrite the costs of developing and distributing the content. The Visual Journalism Bootcamp will explore the existing and potential creative and business opportunities for those working in visual journalism.
