Our 2012 Professional Development Series is all about getting online with your business! PWAC Toronto Chapter will present a top-notch tech-savvy team to help you bring your web marketing to a new level of interactivity with AUDIO and VIDEO production.
Producing a podcast or using a short audio clip or promotional video can greatly enhance your credibility and online presence.
By the end of either half-day workshop, you will write, record, edit, produce and publish your own audio or video segment to upload to your webpages for maximum marketing impact.
