NEW YORK--()--How to prepare your press release to maximize it for measurement and best return on your investment of time and money will be the topic of Business Wire’s FREE webinar in May. The session will provide an overview of trends, tips and tools for prepping your press release to increase effectiveness in achieving communications goals.

Business Wire’s Maria Van Wambeke and Laura Sturaitis will lead the discussion. Both have been intricately involved in crafting recent upgrades to Business Wire’s measurement dashboard.

“We’ll be sharing what we learned in the measurement upgrades regarding making press releases more effective,” says Sturaitis. “Attendees will take away concrete tips on press release writing and distribution as well as deciphering the buzz around measurement in general.”

Business Wire’s educational webinar series launched in 2007 and has since enlightened thousands of professional communicators, garnering three awards from the Society for New Communications Research.
