Taming the PR Monster
Ellen Lahr of EGLahr PR & Media spoke to the Club last week about managing a public relations crisis.  Her firm develops public relations strategies to help define your message, support your business strategy, and tell your story to your unique audiences with internal and external messaging and branding, media relations, email marketing, website development and executive messaging.  Using plenty of news maker anecdotes and examples that turned out both good and bad for a variety of businesses, Ellen explained what a business like hers can do to tell your stories, in your voice.
