Explore better ways to connect with customers in these presentations:

First, we will present Enhance Consumer Insight with Social Media with Chris Brogan, President of New Marketing Labs. This presentation will take place on Monday, October 11 at 1:45 p.m. in Room 103. Here is the abstract:

Marketing today requires your business to be social – i.e., invite your customers to converse with you, use new channels to cultivate relationships, and invest in outreach and engagement programs. Social media veteran Chris Brogan leads the discussion as we explore the benefits of going where your customers are, how to build profiles based on customers’ needs, and leverage consumer insight to increase profitable customers and build your brand.

Second, we will present Social Media Analytics: The Science of Listening with John Bastone, Product Marketing Manager, SAS. This presentation will take place on Monday, October 11 at 11:15 p.m. in Room 123. Here is the abstract:

To realize the value of data collected from social media, you must be able to pare it down, filter out the noise, and focus on specific recurring themes. Join us to learn more about understanding and measuring the impact these conversations have on your business: how to collect and analyze social media, identify brand advocates and threats, apply insight to improve customer targeting and act upon customer needs and sentiment.

Third, Andy Bober, VP of Development at SAS, will participate on the Event Triggered Marketing Solutions: Which One is Best for You? panel. This discussion will take place on Monday, October 11 at 11:15 p.m. in Room 113. Here is the abstract:

Three vendors – SAS, Alterian and Neolane – address event-triggered marketing campaign requirements and translate them into a fully detailed, event-triggered data flow. This interactive panel discussion presents a great opportunity to learn the differences between vendors and find a solution that meets your needs.
