LavaCon Registration Discount Code

June 19th, 2010

This fall, I’ll be speaking at LavaCon in San Diego on generations and the social experience.  The popular conference is focused heavily on the digital and social media experience. The way they phrase it, they’re focused ‘on how to develop, manage and publish digital content that enhances the customer experience, reduces production costs and promotes your online brand.’  Who’d the conference really for? Marketers, public relations pros, brand managers, project managers and anyone with a hankering to learn more about making digital and social media work well for their brand.

And here’s the better part: you can save $50 off of registration by using the discount code CLOUDSPARK. Register by July 9 and take advantage of early registration rates. (Psst, wanna know what we’re doing with our $50? Sneak a peek!)

If you decide to go, let us know, we’d love to meet up in beautiful San Diego.

Social Next: Top Trends in Social Media

May 7th, 2010

For a follow up from our ealier presentation, Social Media 101, I presented a second session at today’s PRSA/GA Annual Conference in Atlanta, Ga. More conceptual, this session was focused on discussing the forthcoming trends, some of which like Real Time and geolocation are already happening.  While the audience was PR professionals, these trends are certain to impact brands and bottom lines in the near future. After all, it was only 3 years ago when people were saying, “What’s this Twitter thing about?”  Like my earlier session, I used the new Prezi format, which won rave reviews from the audience.

Oh, and if you’re really geeked now, check out Akoha, a company that blends geolocation with good deeds, and augmented reality app Layar which let’s you see, what you don’t see,  and keep your eyes on other companies pushing the envelope of what’s possible. Or drop a note here and let us know who those companies are.
