Help Send “Be Your Own Best Publicist” to SXSW ’12

Hey collegiettes(TM)!

Remember when we featured publicity guru Jessica Kleiman in our How She Got There section? As Vice President of Public Relations for Hearst Magazines, Jessica oversees all publicity efforts for titles like Harper’s Bazaar, Seventeen, and Esquire. Amazing, right? I was so impressed with her submission that I read her book “Be Your Own Best Publicist,” co-authored by fellow PR superstar Meryl Weinsaft Cooper, while on vacation in Las Vegas last month. With tips that apply to students in virtually any field of study, this reading comes highly recommended.

Now you can help Jessica & Meryl share their wisdom about using PR tactics to get ahead at work by voting for them to present at SXSW Interactive 2012. With the “Fame Game,” the two hope to explain techniques that top celebrity publicists utilize to help their clients beat out the competition so you can build your own brand. Just head over to the SXSW page, take a minute to register, and give Jessica & Meryl the “thumbs up” they deserve!

Have you picked up “Be Your Own Best Publicist” yet? Weigh in below!
