The SutherlandGold Goup Presents the First PR Boot Cam For Startups on October 22, 2009, in San Francisco.

One Day Intensive Workshop

For a startup to succeed, it has to attract customers and partners, in a hurry and on the cheap. That means your startup needs great PR, even if you don’t have the resources to hire a top notch PR agency. This one-day workshop will give executives from early stage startups the tools they need to build a successful in-house PR program and start telling their company’s story to the consumers, influencers and investors who matter most.

Who Should Attend?

  • Founders and CEOs
  • Marketing execs
  • Anyone else responsible for PR at a startup

You'll Learn How To

Develop Your Story

Every startup has an elevator pitch, but that doesn’t mean reporters will care about it. We’ll show you how to build a story that resonates with reporters, bloggers, influencers and customers.

Identify Your Audience

Early stage startups don’t have the resources to be all things to all people. We’ll help you identify the most important audiences you need to reach to grow your business, and what media outlets matter to them.

Get Your Story Told

A great story is useless if nobody ever hears it. We’ll tell you how to get your story told using national news outlets, major tech blogs, specialty trade press, and social media channels.

Use Your Whole Toolkit

At the end of the day PR only matters if it’s driving your company forward. You’ll hear from marketing execs at some of today’s hottest startups on how they are combining PR, design, social media and other tactics to grow their businesses, and how they’re measuring their success.
