Bigger, Faster, Stronger, WOW! Digital Marketing the Right Way November 4, 2009

So often marketing is misunderstood to be the department that creates advertising. Many things have been labeled as marketing, such as blogging, running TV commercials and even putting balloons in the parking lot. It is true that marketing can do many of these tactics, but they are not the whole story.

In Bigger, Faster, Stronger, WOW! Digital Marketing the Right Way, 15 year marketing professional Reid Givens will demystify what digital marketing really is and what it is not.

"The truth of the matter is that there are too many websites, advertising campaigns and companies that misunderstand marketing, and unfortunately, fail because of it."

This talk will take a holistic look at marketing, focusing on the role digital media plays. The session will cover common mistakes and some advice on how to get it right … along side talking about movies, celebrities, bands and more.

Presentation to be followed by socializing at Uptown for those folks who want to stick around.
