The goal of the eBook, entitled "The Definitive Guide to Social Influencer Engagement," is to provide communications professionals with an informative resource comprised of successful strategies, best practices and advice on how to identify their brands' most valuable influencers and build authentic relationships with them; to help them define an approach that is most sensible for their organization.  Furthermore, it provides the contributing authors a chance to enhance their social presence and gain credibility as an expert.  By incorporating crowd-sourced content and tapping into the breadth of knowledge and experience among the dynamic PR community, the eBook will inherently feature a diverse range of perspectives on the topic.

"There is an enormous community of knowledgeable communication professionals, as well as an abundance of valuable content that is being published every day," said Rachel Meranus, vice president, Marketing & Communications, PR Newswire. "It's a challenge to boost – or even maintain - visibility in such an oversaturated, socially-connected environment and we wanted to give our audience the opportunity to contribute to a publication that will be broadly distributed among PR Newswire's extensive network."

The framework of the eBook has been developed, with chapters and key editorial topics defined, ranging from 'The Different Types of Influencers' to 'The Importance of Scoring Systems.'  The eBook will also feature a wildcard chapter that allows contributors to suggest and create a relevant chapter.  Additional program details, complete table of contents and submission requirements are accessible through the AGILITY@work website

Submissions will be accepted through June 1st, 2012. 

This program follows PR Newswire's hugely successful inaugural awards program, The Earnies.
