It’s as inevitable as it was with Web 2.0, your CEO or VP plops down the airline magazine in front of you where they just read an article about “the cloud” and want to know who, how, when, why and what we are doing with it. At the core it’s simply an infrastructure shift, but it does have reaching implications for how we market online; from things as basic as our Websites, search strategies, landing pages, our social marketing tactics, the technologies we choose and recommend, to how we measure success.
Want to find out the convergence of marketing and the cloud affects you and your client’s marketing tactics? Attend this presentation and hear a panel of industry thought leaders, lead by social media blogger Robert Scoble, discuss what the Cloud means for online marketing and how we can include it in our marketing bag of tricks.
You'll Learn:
- The basics of what the cloud is and how it’s relevant to you and your clients.
- What the cloud has to do with online marketing and how the technology and tactics differ per medium whether it be display ads, search, social marketing, email or rich media.
- Where it’s all going and what does it ultimately mean for my business.

What is the Cloud and how do I find the silver lining?
We’ve all asked the question, what is the cloud and how can I use it.

Then we’ll see how other successful organizations are using the power of rich media and hybrid cloud technologies.
