Austin-San Marcos, TX (1888PressRelease)
October 03, 2006 - Duana C. Welch, Ph.D., executive director for BlabberMouth L.P., the only public relations agency to offer 100% senior-level representation, recently presented a seminar to the Texas Table, Texas’ only organization that coalesces statewide progressive advocacy groups, yielding a powerful unification to leverage their position as a collective. Welch’s presentation, titled “PR: Capturing Mindshare for Your Organization,” provided a means for organizations to utilize effective media relations strategies to reach their target audiences.
Stated Deece Eckstein, the Texas Table’s founder and the Director for the Texas and Southwest region of People For The American Way, a national progressive advocacy organization, “Progressives spend too much time in their issue silos, and so there is a lack of cohesion among the groups. The Texas Table was created to eradicate this obstacle through strength in unity, and one route towards being heard involves media relations. Duana’s presentation to us served a pivotal role in educating our leaders regarding what they can do to be recognized, legitimized, and heard via the press. Duana’s professionalism and seniority added up to a delightful, witty, and above all, helpful discourse urgently needed among Texas’ progressive advocacy groups.”
At Eckstein’s invitation, Dr. Welch created and delivered the seminar, which emphasized the distinction between public relations and other related endeavors; the role in which PR garners credibility for advocacy organizations; and the manner in which organization leaders can maximize media relations to capture public and legislative attention for their messaging towards ends such as increasing their branding and visibility, raising funds, and enhancing memberships.
Stated Patti Hill, President and founder of BlabberMouth PR, “Advocacy organizations such as the Texas Table must brand themselves among the voting public and legislative bodies in order to further their initiatives. However, the progress these organizations embody cannot be communicated and ultimately achieved without effective media relations. We are honored to have been invited to inform the Texas Table toward that end, and look forward to continuing our role as a catalyst for myriad organizations.”
