Gage has worked with Microsoft’s SMB division to establish and grow a social media marketing engine to reach and serve both B2B customers and reseller partners. This presentation was initially given at the 2011 Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association Summit.
While Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are the current rage, most marketers are struggling with how to measure social media effectiveness and maximize ROI. Solving this challenge is the key to long-term success for not just social media – but for all of marketing.
Larry Weber of W2 Group and Alexander Mouldovan of Crowd Factory discuss how marketers can answer the measurement challenge.
To be successful with social media, you need a plan. In this presentation, I review a framework strategy approach that aligns the business strategy and goals with social media activities and keeps those activities accountable via analytics and key performance metrics. This deck was presented at the BMA Chicago breakfast series on May 16, 2012.

Nonprofit Websites: If You Build It, They Will Come … NOT!Joseph LaMountain
A website doesn’t generate traffic on its own. But search engine optimization (SEO) can help nonprofits quickly build a large audience online. Using SEO, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology increased search engine-directed traffic to its website by 192 percent, use of the website’s allergist referral tool by 72 percent, and time spent on the website by 38 percent.
SEO increases the relevance of your website in the eyes of popular search engines, and thus moves your site’s URL closer to the top of search engine results for the terms your audiences search for the most. SEO begins by developing content around the terms people use to find your content online. It also includes increased inbound links from other relevant websites, banner ads, minor design changes, and strategically placed advertising in search engine results for the keywords associated with your content. Using this approach, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine achieved No. 1 Google rankings for the five most frequently searched phrases related to youth and sports injuries.
In this session we’ll discuss how SEO works and how nonprofit communications professionals use it to grow their online visibility. Speakers include Reingold Vice President Joseph LaMountain, Director of Web Design Jordan Sheckman, and Senior Digital Marketing Associate Brooks Lape.

It outsourcing a incompreensível atitude dos provedores tradicionaisAlfredo Saad
Muitas dessas organizações, hoje “aprisionadas” em contratos de ITO de longa duração, anseiam por repensar suas estratégias de sourcing e por planejar a transição para um novo cenário que garanta a consecução dos objetivos de negócio almejados.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
