Faith Hope Consolo Leads Discussion on Media at NYC Real Estate Expo Friday, November 5th, 4-5:30 p.m. at Marriott Marquis Renowned Retail Consultant to be joined by Publisher Jeff Mann and Publicist Linda Alexander for Seminar on "Media & You"
Preeminent retail consultant Faith Hope Consolo, Chairman of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Group, and one of the most visible businesswomen in the country, will lead a discussion about media, its impact on business and how to accrue positive coverage at the NYC Real Estate Expo, Friday, November 5th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, 1535 Broadway, between 44th and 45th Streets. The seminar is being held in the Carnegie Room from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Joining Ms. Consolo will be Jeff Mann, President of Mann Publications, publisher of The Mann Report, Mann Retail Report, Mann Building Report, Mann Residential, Fashion Mannuscript, Mann on the Street and Mann About Town, and Linda Alexander, President of Alexander Marketing Corp. The discussion will conclude with a half hour Q&A session from 5 to 5:30 p.m.
"To garner coverage, we essentially 'partner' with media by providing them with useable, solid story ideas," said Ms. Consolo. "The key is to understand the difference between a press release offering valuable information and an advertorial that wastes a writer's time. We plan to share some well-honed insights, as well as a few trade secrets."
Ms. Consolo, who writes a semi-monthly blog on The Huffington Post, and monthly columns in several publications, including Mr. Mann's retail-focused magazine, is regularly covered and quoted in newspapers, magazines and on television and radio around the world. She is highly regarded in media circles as a candid and informative source on issues pertaining to retail and real estate.
Mr. Mann, whose publications are among the best read in their respective industries, added, "Mann Publications has seven titles that cover real estate, fashion and the Wall Street and financial communities. With each one, our goal is to provide a more personal look at the people who drive industry, often highlighting the social side of business."
Ms. Alexander, who works with both Ms. Consolo and Mr. Mann, is a former reporter and real estate writer who founded her firm in 1998. Over the years, she has worked with many industry leaders, providing media training and public relations consulting.
The NYC Real Estate Expo is geared exclusively towards professionals in real estate and related industries. More than 160 exhibitors will be participating during the daylong event. Panels will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., many moderated by such top media professionals as Commercial Observer Editor Tom Acitelli, The Real Deal Managing Editor Jill Gardiner and New York Magazine Contributing Editor Jhoanna Robledo.
