Marketing your communication skills

Posted by Nicholas Roznovsky on

How many hats do you wear?

Press releases, annual reports, speeches, feature articles. Communicators are often asked to move quickly and easily from one communication piece to another.

Join us for our first monthly professional development meeting of 2009 as independent/freelance business writer Phil Johnson talks to us about the variances and adaptations of researching and writing for multiple clients in multiple industries, while pointing out ways in which one writing genre relates to another.

Starting with a print-journalism education, and then moving into the marketing-communications arena at a major corporation, Phil adapted what had been largely a practical background in sportswriting into video-scriptwriting opportunities, then on to speechwriting and executive ghostwriting, magazine features, op-eds, case studies, and other business writing. A popular speaker at numerous communications venues, Phil will share his insights on writing for the 21st-century business audience.
