The Scoop
March 2011 | Edition 2

Greetings! 

It's been a busy few months here at C.Fox Communications. We've hosted two terrific events on social media for area nonprofits and arts organizations (see the featured ShopTalk blog), and today we launch an exciting public relations fellowship with American University.  We're also narrowing down our finalists for this year's pro bono it Award.  For those intrigued by the Mommy Blogger craze, we bring to you one of our favorites in this month's Elevator Pitch.

 

Enjoy these updates from our end, and may this first week of spring put a little extra spring in your step.

  

Happy Communicating-

Carrie Fox

President, C.Fox Communications
