Bad Pitch Night School (During the Day)

“You should probably be working at Starbucks.”

This is exactly the kind of thing authors of the unbearably famous Bad Pitch Blog tell those PR practitioners unlucky enough to see their latest debauchery end up on badpitch.blogspot.com.

For several years now, PR pros Richard Laermer (@laermer) and Kevin Dugan (@prblog) have joined forces to write the award winning industry watchdog blog, and now they are hosting their first live teleseminar. And everyone is invited.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 29 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EDT. PR know-it-alls Richard Laermer (Punk Marketing, Full Frontal PR) and Kevin Dugan (Strategic PR Blog) are hosting the brand new “Bad Pitch Night School (During The Day).”

Admission gets you:

  • A smart, step by step approach to pitching that includes hilarious case studies and goes beyond that simple email. From looking at the whole pitch lifecycle, including the truth about pitching bloggers and using social media, to tips that will no doubt make you better-informed (and tell you how) plus the keys to pitch inspiration, they’ll help you improve your game.
  • Plus, a free e-book of Laermer`s classic Full Frontal PR handbook.

In this nonstop, ridiculously cool hour the boys are going to knock you out with more learning than you thought possible!

$49 bucks gets you admission for as many people as you can cram into a conference room (via speakerphone, natch), and your free e-book. What a deal!

There’s a Bad Pitch Blog Scholarship Program! What would a school (and a recession) be without scholarships? Bad Pitch Blog gives out five FREE student scholarships and five FREE professional scholarships to those professionals “between jobs/in transition/laid off/out of work.” If you qualify write the boys at badpitch@gmail.com Do it now. Time is fleeting.
