ClickZ co-founder and MarketingProfs chief content officer will teach attendees how to write for PR success 

Vocus, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based public relations and marketing software, today announced its "Writing Rules in PR" webinar featuring author, ClickZ co-founder and MarketingProfs Chief Content Officer Ann Handley, which streams live on August 20 at 2 p.m. ET.

This instructional, hour-long session led by the "Everybody Writes" and "Content Rules" author will focus on why writing is fundamental for public relations success, even in a world full of gifs and memes.

In a time-challenged world dominated by short and snappy, click-bait headlines, is quality writing still important? Handley will teach attendees how to choose words well, write with economy, style and honest empathy, and tell a true story well. During her webinar, attendees will discover why writing still matters and how to write content that audiences won't be able to resist.
