Piktochart

Today, creating and distributing content goes far beyond just sharing your own messages and company news. Your content must be relevant, meaningful and useful to capture your audience’s attention. According to a Marketwired survey in November 2015, PR and marketing professionals plan to increase their content marketing programs by 64% in 2016. According to the same survey, 79% of these professionals have a content marketing plan in place. Content marketing has become an important part of your communication program, and your storytelling requires a strategic and creative approach.

On Tuesday, February 16th, at 8:30 p.m. ET, the #PRStudChat community will gather to discuss Creative Content to Excite your Community.

• Creating visual content with a more hands on approach.
• Discovering new design techniques for content creation.
• Raising levels of engagement with interactive content in different communities.
• Approaching content development strategically and more cost effectively.
