A big hit: CPR’s Powerpoint video

The Camino PR video on persuasive presentation techniques has become a big hit among Camino clients. This seven minute video unleashes the simple but powerful communications techniques that turn difficult presentations into memorable meetings.

As many non profits grapple with the ramifications of a national economic crisis, the importance of presenting compelling information to supporters and board members is on the rise. This video can be used as a stand-alone tool, or as part of a broader partnership with Camino PR to improve internal communications.

New Crisis PR Manual for Non Profits

Camino Public Relations has recently released it’s new publication, “Crisis Public Relations Workbook for Non Profits.” This 40-page workbook provides insight into the unique task of managing difficult communications in the non-profit arena, as well as charts and guides to help non profits develop their own strategies. A companion slide presentation is also available. Contact Camino Public Relations to purchase a copy or to schedule a workshop presentation.

Camino in PR Week

Camino PR’s Elizabeth Toledo got published in PR Week! Her editorial on “citizen journalism” offers advice to non-profits that may need to re-align to meet the new trends in media advocacy. Below is a copy:

Terrific Reception

Camino PR hosted a benefit auction and reception for Project Libertad, a film that explores the impact of Mexican border issues on children. Independent filmmaker Pablo Toledo was on hand to talk about the project. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate our new Camino offices and who lent their support to Project Libertad! Special thanks to Pablo, Laura, Winnie, Loretta, Kathleen, Jeff, Alexis, Mia, Jasmin, and Cathy. You can still bid on the art by linking to http://projectlibertad.com/.

Fundraiser hosted by Camino Public Relations

Please join writer and director Pablo Toledo, the creator of the successful independent feature Runnin’ At Midnite, and producer Laura Gatewood, as they raise awareness and funding for Project Libertad, a ground-breaking new organization that utilizes innovative and socially responsible methods to make a movie.

The cocktail reception hosted by Camino Public Relations, will begin with a short talk about Libertad, the film, as well as the youth component of the project, by writer and director Pablo Toledo, and afterwards, both director and producer will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the project on a person to person basis. Guests will also have the opportunity to donate to the fund by check or credit card and should be pleased to know that all contributions are 100% tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. To make the learning process go a bit more smoothly, wine, music, and hors doeuvres will be in large supply!

As a special addition to the evening, several notable contemporary photographers have donated a selection of works to the Project Libertad team. The pictures that are to be auctioned online (with all proceeds going directly to the organization) will be on display at the event, with two of the photographers in attendance as well. A link to the auction website will be sent two weeks before the fundraiser, and the closing date for purchase will be June 14th.

We would love for each of you to become part of the expanding group of people passionate about making a difference to border communities and committed to supporting the arts.
