We Are All in the Media Business Now!

This presentation will discuss the fundamental changes in communication especially in light of the continued demise of traditional media.  I will suggest a new approach to communications which requires every organization to become its own media channel by creating unique and compelling content.  Large or small – every organization can adopt these new principles of communication to build awareness and brand, and drive support.
