SUMMARY:Roundtable: How to do PR
DESCRIPTION:Our Roundtable concept is about meeting up with a small group of members who are willing to share their experience and knowledge about a certain topic.

Of course\, your brand story is the base of your business – the secret to good PR is then knowing which parts of your brand story to choose and also being able to share them in the right way\, with the right audience and at the right time.  \nThe following expert will share his knowledge in this session:Niels Paauw – With his agency Pow Comms\, Niels offers “PR\, copy and creative support for nice brands”. Tony’s Chocolonely\, Johnny Cashew\, Gulpener\, and many more sustainable food brands trust in his work and creativity. While preparing for this session\, Niels told us that not even once he had to do any active Sales – just one of the many reasons to listen to his expertise.  \nIn this Roundtable session we will cover the following topics\, among others:– Uncomplicating PR – how does it work?– How do I use storytelling as part of my PR strategy?– (How) can PR be successful with a limited budget?– How do I successfully build a network within the media industry?– What’s the right way to approach journalists?– What are the dos and don’ts of PR? \nAgenda17.30-18.15 – Walk-in & easy dinner 18.15-20.15 – Niels talks about his take on PR\, including Q&A20.15-21.15 – Drinks & networking  \nRegistration for this event ends on February 8.
