We want to meet you (and teach you)! Join us for DIY Happy Hour on September 26

A significant part of what I do at FACTEUR PR is work one-on-one with clients in helping them land media coverage for their brands, as well as create and execute comprehensive social media and content marketing strategies. To say I love my job is an immense understatement, and that's really because I love the clients we get to work alongside! 

That said, I certainly understand that not every one of our dream clients has the budget to be able to afford outsourcing retainer services. We often see a lot of business owners or solopreneurs manage their own marketing efforts, like social media and blogging, as best as they can. Empowered by technology, we have the ability to be our own marketers. 

However, where few entrepreneurs dare go is proactively pitching their brand to the press, be it digital, broadcast, influencer or print. And I totally get that. Media relations is an art and a science in relationship building and storytelling, and it's certainly no easy task and not for the faint at heart. That's why people hire me to do it for them! 

Publicity is often a missing critical component of driving awareness and revenue for many brands. Nevertheless, with a little perseverance and a lot of patience, it's possible to be your own publicist. Whether you’re already well-established in the marketplace, or you're an emerging small business, a creative solopreneur, or a professional who wants to up a skill set, public and media relations help tell your story to the right audiences and add credibility.

In an effort to give folks a little insight into how PR works, I'm personally hosting our first DIY PR Happy Hour on Wednesday, September 26, where I'll reveal tips and advice I personally use for prepping for and procuring publicity. This 90-minute intimate evening event will kick-off with 25 minutes of meeting and mingling, followed by a 45-minute presentation, and 20 minutes of Q&A sure to leave you feeling empowered and inspired to make publicity happen for you and your brand! 

If you've ever asked yourself...

What is the difference between PR and Marketing?

Why is PR important and how does it help build revenue?

What assets do I need to prepare before sending my pitch?

How do I find the outlets and reporters that would be interested in my brand?

What are some affordable resources to help me DIY PR?

...then this event is for you!

Oh, and we'll also have some wines, snacks + sweets, and non-alcoholic bevvies as well! 

Here's the thing: seating is limited as we are hosting this event at our shared studio space in Ohio City (2905 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH), so snagging your tickets sooner than later is strongly recommended! Tickets are $29 through September 5 and will increase to $35 from September 5-26 if they are still available. All taxes and fees are included in the ticket price listed.
