Connected Marketing Week
The inaugural Connected Marketing Week is a gathering of interactive marketing events aimed to educate marketers on every aspect of the digital industry. Because marketing today requires an advanced understanding of how consumers and audiences are connecting, sharing their passions and influencing others, the program for Connected Marketing Week contains presentations and panels focused on the basics, such as pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO), and newly designed sessions exploring the search and social media convergence. In addition to thousands of attendees, over 100 companies will be exhibiting their latest products, services and technologies.

Quotes

Anna Maria Virzi, executive editor, ClickZ

"These forums — "Optimize Your Email Campaigns" and "The Future of Display Advertising: Ad Networks and Exchanges" — offer marketers the opportunity to learn first-hand from thought leaders about two very different yet equally important aspects of marketing"

"If you are a marketer responsible for ensuring that your email marketing campaigns are effective, you will be well served by attending the forum organized by the pros at EEC. Likewise, if you are trying to keep pace with rapid changes in media buying because of real-time bidding, demand-side platforms and more, the ad network and exchange forum will keep you current on the latest developments. It’s all about optimization.”

Jeanniey Mullen, founder of EEC and executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Zinio.

“With all organizations watching their budgets very closely these days, the importance of precisely targeting email campaigns comes front and center,” “Partnering with ClickZ is a wonderful opportunity for us to share our organization’s expertise with their large community of marketers. We’re thrilled to be a part of the inaugural Connected Marketing Week festivities.”

David J. Moore, co-Chair of the IAB Networks & Exchanges Committee and Chairman of 24/7 Real Media

“This is going to be a very full day where we’ll be examining trends and issues, such as the IAB’s new Quality Assurance Guidelines for networks and exchanges, what media buyers look for in ad networks and exchanges, the impact of demand side platforms, and what leading Wall Street analysts can tell you about the strategic direction of the online display businesses of Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and other market leaders.”

“There is even a fun session where participants will have the opportunity to play ‘The Answer Is…,’ a game based on Jeopardy where digital experts compete to see who is a digital rock star.”
