Rhode Island Nexus

As promised, we have an intrepid presenter from Boston on tap:

Stephen Melanson will open our eyes to the importance of Verbal Branding.

In this 140-character era, concise messaging is critical, whether you're focus is online or not.

This 2 hour workshop is designed to equip small businesses with tailored public relations strategies and pitching tactics that can help significantly—yet inexpensively—raise awareness, complement the brand, and meet business objectives. The ability to clearly and consistently communicate a company’s brand is important to the success of any business. Today’s businesses are challenged with determining the most impactful and economical mediums to pursue to communicate their offerings—e.g. traditional media (TV, radio, print), social media (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn), etc.

Speaker(s): Julie Ruditzky Loffredi, television news reporter and owner of Publicity Crew, a public relations firm.

Announcing the 16th Pecha Kucha night in Providence!  The theme is TBD and suggestions are most welcome.  If you haven't yet heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, Pecha Kucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas, in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Put simply: 6 minutes and 40 seconds of adult-style show & tell. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 300 cities worldwide, and landed in Providence last March. 

When: Thursday, July 29th - doors open at 19:20, presentations start at 20:20
Where: The Steelyard, 27 Sims Avenue, Providence 02909
