SMX Social Media: Focus On Tactics

We got a question this week about SMX Social Media, which will be held October 16-17 in New York City. The writer wanted to know if the conference “addresses the concepts and practices of social media as marketing channels.”

Danny Sullivan, who is co-chairing the conference, answered this way: “I think you’re asking, is this meant to get you thinking about social media or actually diving in on tactics you can use. It’s very heavy on tactics. We assume you’re already convinced about social media, so we mainly focused on telling you how to promote in various ways.”

Convinced social media is the way to reach audiences who are tuning out traditional media? Need actionable information on leveraging social media platforms? SMX Social media is for you. Check out the full agenda here. Then register.
