Merlot’s SpeedBriefings™ with…Hobnob 

We are turning the tables on the media! It’s time for PR pros to interview editors and reporters instead of just pitching them. Our aim is to understand how changes in technology and human behavior are affecting their business, and to determine what we (as public relations professionals) can do to better serve this evolving print/digital industry.

In this episode, we interview Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Hobnob, Ellen Swandiak, to learn the best way to pitch her, her thoughts on using social media for pitching and how the industry is changing!
