Here cometh Iggy Pintado’s social media roadshow

Is it the Hunter AMI Group or is it the NSW Australian Marketing Institute? Who cares, they invite you to afternoon with The Connected Marketer.

Talking about: Using social media and online networking to connect with customers

The economic downturn has forced businesses to go back to basics and focus on their lifeblood — their customers. Marketers are being looked upon to find ways of staying relevant to their business stakeholders through various communication techniques, with ever-decreasing expense budgets.

With the mass adoption of social media and online networking platforms such as Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter, there is an opportunity for marketers to learn more about — and connect directly — with their most valuable asset base.

The presenter
