Denver, CO, August 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Denver-based Absolutely Public Relations has added social media PR strategy and tactics to its product line. The announcement is made by Absolutely PR Owner/Founder Maggie Chamberlin Holben, APR, who says the 10-year-old consulting firm actively embraces all the Web 2.0/social media tools -- including news feed blogs, SEO PR, Podcasting, Wikipedia, Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter, and video channels such as YouTube -- to help clients turn up the volume on their brands in both traditional and online media messaging. Absolutely PR currently provides social media PR for both the Colorado BioScience Association (CBSA) and the Colorado Cleantech Industry Asssociation (CCIA).
“We laid the foundation for the CBSA’s social media PR program a year ago when hosting Twitter early-adopter Guy Kawasaki (@GuyKawasaki) as a keynote speaker at the 2008 BioWest Conference and the rest just flowed naturally, yielding nothing but positive response thus far,” explains Holben. “The CBSA Twitter page (@COBioscience) has 2,733 followers as of this writing. Further, the CBSA Facebook Fan Page has 165 fans and the LinkedIn Group has 410 members, plus we just launched the CBSA subgroup for the Rocky Mountain Life Science Investor Conference, coming to Denver’s Ritz-Carlton September 17. “
