High-Pressure Pitching Luncheon

• Philadelphia Public Relations Association, Inc.

As our world-champion Philadelphia Phillies can attest – sometimes the best pitches come under pressure. In light of our ever-changing media market, it is as important as ever to pitch “in the strike zone” – using only carefully crafted, well-organized media pitches.

Join PPRA as we bring you one of our most popular annual programs, Speed PitchingTM. Consider this your Spring Training. Pitch your story ideas and get real-time feedback from some of the region’s leading reporters! (They may even throw you a curve ball or two.) All participants will receive Phillies giveaways. Don’t have the nerve to pitch in front of an audience? No need to worry. Our panel of some of the region’s top reporters and editors will share their wisdom on how to craft effective pitches and best cultivate meaningful relationships with reporters.

* Panelists include:
o Bill Larson, Philadelphia Zoo (moderator)
o Brandy Bell, Philly.com
o Sarah Blazucki, Philadelphia Gay News
o Berlinda Garnett, FOX's Good Day Philadelphia
o Aditi Roy, NBC 10
