In case you missed it, the State Journal’s Social Media Business Forum was held this past Friday, April 1st, 2011 at the University of Charleston. Their panel featured two Next Generation Marketing alum – Justin Seibert and Jeff James – plus Emily Bennington and Bob Coffield. In addition, the opening intro into social media was delivered by Julie Hewett.
The attendees – mainly from all over West Virginia (yay for the great support from the Panhandles!), but also from Ohio and Kentucky – were able to ask questions pertaining to their own social media efforts both planned and in effect. A huge thank you to the State Journal for putting on the event and everyone that came out.
Seibert then headed off to Columbus, OH the next day to present How to Protect Your Online Reputation at the Digital Media in a Social World conference. If you’re updating your Where’s Waldo maps for Seibert at home, that would mark four separate universities in the last month:
- West Virginia University
- The Ohio State University
- West Liberty University
- University of Charleston
For those of you who have inquired about future Next Generation Marketing events – and those simply interested in learning more about using social media for business – we wanted to let you know about an event the State Journal is putting on April 1, 2011 in Charleston, WV.
This social media business forum features two speakers from our last series: Jeff James of Mythology Marketing and Justin Seibert of Direct Online Marketing. Jeff and Justin will sit on two panel discussions with a couple other great homegrown speakers, Emily Bennington of Dixon Hughes and Bob Coffield of Flaherty, Sensabaugh & Bonasso. Other speakers include Karen Saxe of netSpray, Julie Hewett of JulNet, and Kevin Nelson of Huddleston Bolen.
We’ll add another post when we receive registration information. In the meantime, if you have any questions, keep a lookout for more information from the State Journal, either online or in print. Hope you can join us!
Hey everyone – sorry we’ve left this blog go dormant for so long as we’ve been in the process of figuring out how we want to handle it (note – haven’t decided yet). In the meantime, one of the speakers from our Pittsburgh conference in 2007 – Jose Mallabo – has a new blog, so we wanted to pass it along.
Mallabo.net offers a look at issues pertaining to social commerce from someone who’s been deeply involved in it from his time at eBay, LinkedIn, and GSI Commerce. So to read more about what Jose’s been up to – especially if you’re interested in using social media to increase your site’s ecommerce sales, take a look!
Hola mi amigos y amigas!*
Some pretty exciting news on the Next Generation Marketing front. Well it’s not quite news yet – more like an embryonic news nugget.
Jeff, Skip, and I got on the phone this morning to plan out our next dates. One thing that looks more or less definite is a stop in Beckley, WV in November. We’ll post more here and on the main site when this gets locked down and we have more news.
* I just felt like opening with some Spanish today. Weird – I didn’t even catch any Dora or Diego this morning. If that’s misspelled or otherwise incorrect, please let me know. I took Deutsch in high school and college.
Guess who’s back / Guess again / Marketing Genius is back / Tell a friend / Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, [fade out]
Looks like the Marketing Genius blog is back after the hijacking. That was much quicker than anticipated. Please continue to enjoy posts from our good friend Skip Lineberg, which resume today.
