The automotive industry is at the forefront of PR’s growing emphasis on grassroots storytelling and digital content creation.
On Wednesday, July 23, PRSA-LA invites you to learn how major automotive brands are leveraging the power of grassroots storytelling to influence today’s advertising-fatigued consumers.
Join us for a special all-star panel as five major auto manufacturers discuss their communication strategies and the new relationships brands must build with their customers. Their insights and lessons learned have applications across all industries and organizations, so this is one program every PR pro should attend.
And, just for attending, you could win an opportunity to drive a 2014 Corvette Stingray for a week! The July program and the Corvette raffle are sponsored by Chevrolet.
