What if you woke up tomorrow and discovered that your customer base had completely hijacked your latest branding campaign, rendering millions of dollars in plans, placements and creative all but obsolete? Or what if, despite your best efforts and a sizable investment, an unknown competitor's product took off from nowhere because of a consumer-driven campaign?
Welcome to the world of Social Media. Social Media is much more than using a few of the newest technology tools and some Internet wizardry to improve your marketing. It's a formidable tear in the very fabric of your market presence, a movement afoot in your customer base. It's causing B2B companies worldwide to rethink their go-to-market strategies.
Join us for 90 minutes of exploring the new world of Social Media and how it relates to business-to-business marketing efforts. You'll see examples of how some B2B marketers have faced very real challenges. You'll leave with an understanding of the strategy, tactics, tools, techniques and measurements you need to establish as you venture into the world of Social Media.
Then join us for Part 2 of the Social Media discussion where Josh Hallett will delve into the HOW of Social Media marketing by exploring the opportunities you can find with blogs.
Business-to-business marketing professionals looking for new ideas in this Web 2.0 world of ours. Gather your colleagues around a monitor in the conference room and have everyone benefit from the advice and techniques shared.

Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 87% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:
"Excellent bird's eye view of social media and its relevance to maketing."
"A pretty complete overview of the Web 2.0 space. Good educational piece or outlet to expose you something that you may have missed."
"I was riveted by todays session. The litnus test is that i was not distracted by the many multitasking 'opportunities' that presented themselves (email, IM, phones ringing, yada, yada). Dana presented a LOT of great information. However, I felt as if I was drinking from a firehose. Would love to know where I can go to really learn about the myriad of topics he covered with in Social Media."
