June 29: Develop Editorial Plan & Score Cubs Tickets

After attending a one-day workshop, Writing Across All Media,  led by Steve Crescenzo and Jim Ylisela, also known as Write & Rewrite, you will have a plan for tackling your biggest writing challenge at your organization. Plus, you’ll leave the workshop with a ticket to the Cubs game that night!

(Listen to a preview in this podcast interview of Steve by Tom Keefe.)

9 more reasons this is a can’t-miss workshop

In one fun, practical, fast-paced day, Write (Steve) and Jim (Rewrite) will show you how to:

  1. Transform your communications department from a funnel pumping out every content request to a filter making good decisions about what to write, how to write it – and what doesn’t make the grade.
  2. Create a “news desk” to decide which channel a piece of content belongs in – print, online, social media, audio or video, e-mail or face to face.
  3. Change your web (or intranet) writing style to adapt to dramatic changes in the last two years.
  4. Compose an effective blog that will draw readers and inspire comments.
  5. Master the art of Print 2.0 – and give your publication new life.
  6. Make the best use of Twitter’s 140-character limit – it still demands good writing.
  7. Write for podcasts and other audio channels, which are fast becoming the most popular corporate communication tools.
  8. Write for video, to create stand-alone video stories that go beyond “talking heads.”
  9. Draw a crowd around typically boring corporate topics and initiatives by telling those stories across various media.

Plus, if you’re an IABC Chicago member, you’ll save $150 on an individual registration. To register, click here.
