THIRD TUESDAY: Darren Barefoot: Getting the attention of the web's influencers May 20, 2008

PLEASE RSVP for this FREE SOCIAL MEDIA EVENT AT: http://thirdtuesdayvancouver.com

MAY 20th: DARREN BAREFOOT

As more marketers become aware of them, the web's new influencers have been as difficult to contact as journalists. The demand for their attention is as high, and their inbox is as full as the average reporter's.

How do you cut through the noise and get a popular blogger's attention? You have to be creative, authentic and tenacious. Darren will present a case study of a recent marketing campaign for a BC startup, where a little ingenuity helped grab the attention of some prominent bloggers.

Darren's Bio:

Darren is a writer, marketer and technologist. He's spent the last decade working for technology companies in Canada and Europe.
