On Wednesday, August 26th, Barcelona Creative Group (BCG) will co-sponsor a Tweetup with the Publicity Club of Chicago (PCC), with promotional support from Big Teeth Productions. The Tweetup will be held at Rock Bottom in Chicago from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. (Click to RSVP)

How did this partnership come together? TWITTER, of course!

I have been a member of PCC for about a year, and it is truly a great organization to be a part of. For those of you who don’t know, Publicity Club of Chicago is a network of Chicago’s inspired public relations and marketing/communications professionals, making up the nation’s largest independent public relations membership organization.

Right after I joined PCC I volunteered to help with the Education Series. Each weekly class features top level PR practitioners who share their knowledge and experience on timely topics in the industry. Thanks to Kim McCullough, a member of the PCC Board of Directors, I was able to jump right in and help with planning, finding speakers and even moderate one of the sessions. It was awesome and I am so glad to be a committee chairperson for the 2010 Education Series!

As Kim and I stayed in touch through Twitter, we thought it would be great to work together again and co-sponsor this Tweetup. Dave Bosch, PCC President, thought we could take this initiative one step further and invite those looking for a job in PR or marketing/communications to come and talk about their job search and make some new connections through networking with PCC board members and other industry colleagues. With a quick BCG logo design and some additional planning and location scouting, the PCC/BCG tweetup came to life!

While I have met many great colleagues and friends through Twitter, I immediately thought of Big Teeth Productions to help add some “smile” to our promotion of the event. A couple of tweets and emails later, Big Teeth is not only going to attend the event and shoot some video footage while there, they also came up with the idea to produce a few short promotional clips leading up to event. Making new connections like Gregg and Elise Jaffe and Dan Hindin are what makes Twitter truly amazing. I have no doubt the Tweetup will be a greater success because of their help!

We are all looking forward to the PCC/BCG Tweetup on August 26th. If you’re in the Chicagoland area, we hope you will join us while we chat about life, jobs, PR and marketing, and of course, have some fun while networking!
