Can a PR pro help a start up?

Posted on October 21st, 2008 by sherrilynne

I’m chuffed to have been invited to take part on the upcoming FIR live panel discussion on the value of PR for start ups.  Neville Hobson and Shel Holtz are co-chairing and so far the panel includes:

The panel comes as a result of several high-profile posts suggesting startup CEOs can do their own PR just as effectively as a professional. Well I’ve worked for more than my share of tech start ups and my experience shows that CEOs typically have too much on their plates to be able to focus on PR.  I’ll be talking about this on the night.  We’re working with a couple of start ups right now, and hopefully one of them will ring in to talk about their trials and tribulations.

The panel discussion will be hosted on FIR’s BlogTalk Radio channel on Friday, November 7 at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, and 6 p.m. in London. As with all BlogTalk Radio shows, you’ll have the oportunity to call in and add your own perspectives or ask questions of the panelists. Just call (347) 324-3723 during the show. You can also listen to the show by dialing in to that same number, or by visiting the site and clicking the “listen” button.
