A sizzle reel is a brief video that brings attention to something you want to promote–your work, an event, or a public relations campaign. Thanks to today’s technology, you don’t have to be a media pro to create this highly effective form of communication. On November 4th, AWC-SB board member Erica Schweitzer will outline the essential ingredients for a memorable sizzle video. She’ll showcase some exceptional sizzle reels. And she’ll introduce you to her favorite free and low-cost tools. To get the most out of the evening, think about something you’d like to promote. By the time the evening is over, you’ll have fresh ideas about a powerful new way to make an impression on the audience you want to reach.

Solutions Journalism, a rigorous, evidence-based approach to reporting, goes beyond sky-is-falling headlines to showcase innovative ways people are solving serious problems.  Learn how to write and identify stories to present through a solutions journalism-lens with Giana Magnoli and Michelle Faust Raghavan.
