Topics in Emerging Media
Thursday, May 10, 2007
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Hotel Nikko, San Francisco.


As marketers continue to increase online spending and look for new ways to connect with customers, some are beginning to move beyond traditional search and e-mail marketing to begin experimenting with a number of new online tactics to generate leads and drive brand loyalty. From social networking to blogs, podcasting to mobile marketing, these "emerging" media represent some of the most exciting—but also largely not well understood—new opportunities in marketing.

Come join us and our panel of experts for a morning of information and insights about "emerging" media, and how your organization can get started incorporating these new, cutting edge channels into your marketing mix. Topics that will be addressed include:
  • Blogging Basics: What are blogs, why are corporations blogging, how to create an effective business blogging strategy and get started, best practices, and where to learn more
  • RSS Feeds/Podcasts/Videocasts: What they are and how they fit into your marketing mix
  • Mobile Marketing: A market overview, the different types of mobile media (SMS, WAP, applications), how to measure response, and the what's on the horizon
  • Social and Consumer Generated Media: Learn why social media sites—like Wikipedia, YouTube and others—are essential to any marketing plan. Our experts will share marketing case studies from Microsoft and others, and discuss measurement strategies
