How to do work with your PR firm during Company/Product Launches
The success of PR launches is largely a two-way street. Company spokespersons need to make time for media interviews prior to the announcements. PR launches often are stymied by inaccessible company spokespeople during the most critical weeks for phone or face-to-face interviews. Spokespersons who make these appointments a top priority enable their PR firm to set up more interviews with very tight, often inflexible media/analyst schedules. Once an interview is scheduled, try not to reschedule it. It’s often difficult for media/analysts to rework their schedules to accommodate new dates and times. Some reporters will just cancel the meeting all together.

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ DAVID SOUTHERN TO SHARE BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS AT AWWA/WEF
Cathodic Protection expert to demonstrate latest technological innovation for ensuring automated pipeline integrity
WHO: David Southern is a Product Development Manager for FreeWave Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of spread spectrum wireless solutions. www.freewave.com
Southern has 25 years of experience in the water/wastewater, hazardous waste remediation, oil and gas industry, mining, petrochemical and refining industries. Prior to joining FreeWave, he was a Business Manager for an Emerson Process Management representative. In 1978, as a summer intern on an offshore oil production platform, Southern learned firsthand the basics of corrosion prevention and the everyday importance cathodic protection plays in mission critical operations. Southern has authored or co-authored several U.S. patents and is published in several industry magazines including Pipeline & Gas Technology, POWER, American Oil & Gas Reporter and Compressor Tech II. He is a 1982 graduate of the School of Mines.
WHAT: FreeWave’s FGRCP Industrial 900MHz Cathodic Protection (CP) Remote Monitoring Radio
Energy and Pipeline Companies wrestle to meet new stricter state and federal pipeline integrity requirements while simultaneously trying to control operating costs. Recent, unfortunate, pipeline news events pushed corrosion and cathodic protection to front page news across the nation to the extent that the U.S. Congress and several states passed legislation directed specifically toward cathodic protection practices. Many companies are looking to new technologies and automation for answers. Unfortunately, ever changing cell phone technologies left some companies scrambling to stay ahead of telemetry obsolescence. Effective answers to critical issues affecting public safety are often found in a combination of both old and new technology.
This presentation will focus on how Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring Units, such as FreeWave’s recently introduced FGRCP 900 MHz Radio, automatically collect and report mission critical, corrosion prevention data from remote rectifiers and test points and transmit that data back to a central data collection system via wireless, radio modems–often using a companies’ existing radio networks.
The FGRCP automates the remote monitoring of critical pipes and culverts to identify and prevent corrosion that can lead to leaks, groundwater contamination and other such adverse scenarios affecting overall water quality, supply and/or public safety.
WHERE: 2008 AWWA/WEF Information Management Technology and Customer Service Joint Conference and Expo.
Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, Ambassador Salon 1
Detroit, MI
WHEN: Monday, March 31, 2008

Know Thy Reporter
Read at least several back issues and recent articles by the reporter you’re pitching. Reporters don’t appreciate it when PR pros appear unknowledgeable about their publication.
