[WebPub] Join us for web writing webinars on 5/19 and 5/26

[Monica Lee]

Dear colleagues,

The Publishing Services Bureau invites you to join us at a two-part webinar series sponsored by Academic Impressions. Following each webinar, we’ll host a half hour discussion to share questions and thoughts on how these solutions apply to your work at MIT.

Series overview: Whether communicating your key messages via your traditional website, social media sites or mobile devices, the fundamental truth of web content remains constant: clean and simple content based on the most important tasks your visitors want to accomplish online is essential to your marketing success. Bob Johnson, a consultant for higher-education communications, will be the presenter at both sessions.
