AMA - Blogs: Marketing Beyond the Website
10/29/2004
The American Marketing Association (AMA) is taking a walk on the wild side. AMA is taking blogs on a national road tour! Blogs: Marketing Beyond the Website is one-day workshop designed to help marketers cross the chasm in incorporating this innovative internet-based strategy into their organization’s marketing plan.
This is one of the first professional development events that addresses blogging from a strategic marketing focus vs. a tech view vs. a jounalist view vs. a how-to blog view. AMA's "Good Housekeeping" or should we say, "Good Marketing" seal of approval is a significant step towards increasing legitimacy and awareness of blogs as a business/marketing strategy.
I am honored to have been asked to chair and serve as moderator for the Blogs: Marketing Beyond the Website . [Sidebar: I realize that the line-up skews high testosterone...to the talented women bloggers, next go round AMA will try harder to provide a more balanced speaker mix.]
