Vipul Shah From very beginning we had decided to combine the Marketing and PR/PM committees as one team. We had our joint weekly meetings where we reviewed what was done in the week and what’s planned for the next week. Our team consisted of highly talented graphic designers, message editors, technology experts, public relations champions, professional motivated thinkers, and idea generators. Here are some major results we achieved as team.
Public Relations and Press-Media ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Community outreach by connecting with global press-media partners, political leaders, VIPs, other faith organizations leaders, US Jain centers leaders, International Jain organizations, and streaming media partners. We built relationships with over 30 Press-Media partners to spread the word around the world for the JAINA Convention 2021. We produced periodic press releases for newspapers, Jain Digest, and Jain Avenue on a monthly basis. We hosted global press conferences and briefed about the Convention to press-media partners. We maintained a registration analysis report to keep everyone updated with the latest registration count and breakout by Jain Centers, state, age group, etc. With our persisted approach with community outreach and Press-Media partners, we were able to receive 25 press releases published by various media partners. We also ran advertisements in newspapers and electronic media. With our diligent pursuit we received four video messages from following leaders o Shri Vijay Rupani, Chief Minister of Gujarat o Mr. Raja Krishnamoorthy, Congressman, IL o Mr. Tim Ryan, Congressman, OH o Mr. Cedric Richmond, US House of Representative and Political Sr. Advisor to President Biden
