SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/08/07 -- Three Girls Media & Marketing Inc. (www.ThreeGirlsMedia.com), the only Public Relations Agency in the nation to guarantee editorial media coverage to its clients, today announced their educational Webinar series for Small Businesses: "PR 101: Learn to Do-It-Yourself with Confidence."

The 4-part series was designed and is being taught by Three Girls' CEO, Erika M. Taylor, who enjoyed an 18-year career in broadcasting before embarking on a successful PR career, culminating in the founding of her own agency, Three Girls, two years ago. Webinar #2 of the series takes place this week, July 12th 12-1pm or 14th 10-11am.

"Small Businesses are often the companies who need Public Relations the most, and can least afford it," said Ms. Taylor. "There is no shortage of terrible PR advice from so-called experts who believe a press release is the answer to everything. I wanted to provide businesses with solid, insider media knowledge giving them the necessary tools to promote themselves the right way, avoiding wasted time, money and not annoying journalists in the process."

"As a proficient media presentation about PR, we were frankly impressed," said Cheryl A. Magill of CornerStone Realtors, who participated in the Series' first session in June.
