Big Brands Discuss Social Media Initiatives
Tonight is the September meeting of the Atlanta Interactive Marketing Association (AIMA). I have been invited to attend and live-tweet the event, “Big Brands Discuss Social Media Initiatives,” being held at Georgia Tech’s Global Learning Center. The event is presented by AiMA and sponsored by BLiNQ Media and Google.
DESCRIPTION:
Social media has gone beyond fad status to credible marketing strategy. However, few organizations know how to create “working” tactics. Comcast does. AT&T does. The Red Cross does. On September 30, you’ll hear how Comcast uses Twitter as a customer service strategy, how AT&T creates authentic conversations with the youth market, and how the Red Cross produces enterprise results on a limited budget.
SPEAKERS:
Comcast – Frank Eliason, Senior Director in National Customer Operations @comcastcares
AT&T – Mimi Chan, Director of Wireless Youth Marketing
Red Cross – Wendy Harman, Social Media Manager @wharman
Moderated by BLiNQ Media’s Dave Williams, CEO and Co-Founder @blinqmedia
I’m looking forward to seeing Frank again whom I met last year at BlogWorld as well as meeting the rest of the speakers. If you aren’t familiar with Comcast’s experience with social media, do yourself a favor and Google it. They are a fantastic example of a company that has learned to go where their customers live online and better brand sentiment in the process.
The event is sold out and no walk-ups will be admitted.
