\nNational Convention last week. They encouraged people to take
\nphotos of an empty chair in their yard and share them on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\nyesterday morning. And the response was so overwhelming, that
\nwebsites hoping to feature the best photos found a backlog from
\nwhich to choose.<\/p>\n
\nhoping to convince Democratic National Convention organizers to

\nand encourage their friends to read it?<\/p>\n
\n professional self-publishing and brand engagement news platform<\/a>,
\nfor all new products and services.<\/p>\n

\npublicity writes a story about whatever they’re promoting. They
\nupload it to Launch.it and share the link with their social media
\nfollowers, contacts and even journalists.<\/p>\n
\nthose. This is a chance to tell a compelling story and make it
\ncome alive.<\/p>\n
\n3. TV Execs Share Pitching Tips
