Getting past social media BS

Ryan Anderson — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:43:50 +0000

Let’s face it – we all know there’s a lot of it out there. The important question is how we advance beyond the advice of self-proclaimed experts and integrate social media into our marketing in a way that moves the needle for our clients or our businesses.

To answer (at least some of) that question, Chris Greenfield, product strategist and Founder & CEO of clever communications will be speaking at the next Social Media Breakfast on the topic Social Media Hype: Getting past the BS and making it work.

From the description:

When ROI means everything, businesses need to focus their social media efforts on their core business goals, with a realistic look at the resources and commitment required to execute well a social media program.

I’ve worked with Chris many times in the past and I can vouch for him being one of the good ones. He’s also an excellent speaker, so don’t miss the opportunity to see him in Ottawa. Book your ticket today – http://smbottawa8.eventbrite.com

Social Media Breakfast Ottawa # 7

Ryan Anderson — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:04:27 +0000

Spring is just around the corner, we’re about to get an exta hour of daylight, and young people’s fancy is turning to thoughts of social media and a light continental breakfast.

That’s right – Social Media Breakfast number 7 is coming up in less than two weeks. On March 11, we have the pleasure of having Brady Gilchrist, digital strategist and entrepreneur to come and talk to us about the changing mediascape and how social media will fit in with big corporations. Brady is the digital advisor to many large international brands, so he brings a distinctly unique perspective to the tools we use every day.

As always, you can sign up at the Eventbrite page – http://smbottawa7.eventbrite.com, and we will be hosted at Gowlings Law Firms on Elgin, by our wonderful sponsor, without which this breakfast would not be possible.

In the meantime, here’s the introduction to Brady’s talk:

I hope I’ll see you all there!

Croissants and Social Media – Together Again

Ryan Anderson — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:29:10 +0000

It’s been a little while since last we met, but we’re kicking off the first Social Media Breakfast of the year in style with special guest speaker Stuart MacDonald; CEO of TripHarbour.ca, founder and former CMO of Expedia.ca, and co-founder of the MESH conference. He’s going to talk about how social media has helped him build the community-driven travel site and the lessons he picked up over his career launching and building online businesses.

This is a must for anyone interested in social media and business. Stuart is not just an experienced marketer, he’s a fantastic speaker who understands the role of social media in business.

The event takes place on February 20 at the offices of our wonderful sponsors Gowlings, located at 160 Elgin Street. Tickets are available at http://smbottawa6.eventbrite.com/.
