They work with companies like DMGT and invite participants to join their network to collaboratively shape the future of virtual business.
While many companies struggled to maintain their figures over the last year to eighteen months, others have grown - even in these tough economic times. One significant factor in their success appears to be the level of engagement with customers and stakeholders.
Sally Falkow (APR) Social Media Strategist at Expansion Plus, and Rebecca Lieb, VP North America, Econsultancy will discuss research that shows how important engagement has become and how it is tied to financial success.
They'll present case studies that show that this applies just as much to small and medium businesses as it does to large corporations.
B2B Social Media marketing needs to monitor B2C and consumer marketing trends more than ever. Why? Because the social web has obliterated the differentiation between B2B and B2C marketing. The ability to drive direct connection with individuals is how B2B now needs to rethink its approach. In this presentation presented live at Click Z New York on April 1, 2014, Geoff Colon, Group Marketing Manager of Social Media at Microsoft explains how companies in the B2B space can use specific trends and tactics to your advantage.
