Presenter: Stefanie Santos McLeese

The power of media has never been greater, due in large part to the social sharing opportunities, which are seemingly endless. A news clip no longer exists only in real-time, as it can be shared indefinitely. Paid media opportunities run the gamut from billboards to non-skippable digital ads on streaming platforms. In this session, global PR & brand strategist, Stefanie Santos McLeese, will share a high-level look at the best practice PESO Media Model (Paid. Earned. Shared. Owned.) and talk through the difference between earned media and paid media. She will offer some filters for considering which might be a better fit for you at various points in your business development journey, and also discuss some tips for success in each of these efforts.

The webinar will be approximately 45 minutes of presentation time followed by Q&A. Participants will be able to ask questions in the chatbox, which will be addressed at the end of the presentation, moderated by a member of our team.
