This time at Pub PR we will hear a literary perspective on PR and
communications.
We’ll be hearing from the author, freelance journalist, and former
rocket-factory worker Zhang Lijia. She will tell us her experiences
obtaining publicity in China and worldwide, drawing on her extensive
work as a journalist with major news outlets and as a successful
author and self-publicist.
Zhang Lijia is a regular contributor to international publications,
including the South China Morning Post, Japan Times, The Observer, New
Statesman and Newsweek.
Her memoir “Socialism Is Great!” about her experience at a rocket
factory was published in 2008. This has been a great success,
attractive rave reviews in major newspapers around the world. It has
been translated into many languages, most recently into French, Dutch,
and Hebrew. She is a regular speaker on the BBC and Channel 4 in the
UK, and National Public Radio in the USA.
We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be a vibrant, fun,
and exciting talk!
As usual, our venue will give us a 50% discount on most wines,
spirits, local beer and soft drinks.
Time: from 7:30 pm Thursday 4 June, talk to start at around 8:00
Address: Mix Bar, 1st Floor (not Touch on the second floor where we
were last time) Westin Beijing Chaoyang, No.1 Xinyuan Nan Road; 金茂北京威斯
汀大饭店，北京朝阳区新源南路 1 号 Tel: 5922 8888
