On Wednesday, March 29th at the Beer Marketing & Tourism Conference we will present a panel discussion on “The Beer Marketer’s Guide to Working With Media.”
The hot trend in marketing the last ten years has been digital marketing – email, social media, online advertising, etc. And we’ll have a special three-hour workshop on Digital Marketing on Tuesday morning.
But securing stories in media outlets remains one of the most effective and cost effective ways to increase awareness and garner credibility among consumers. In this session, our panelists will share current insights, including:
- Which story themes are trending now and are thus of interest to writers
- How to best pitch stories to writers
- Which digital assets are now considered toolbox necessities when approaching media
