SNCR Presentation: "Social Marketing to the Business Customer: It's Time to Get Serious About B2B"
With spending projected to grow at 21% a year through 2013, business-to-business social media communications is the place to be. In this session, you'll learn how to model winning B2B social campaigns, convince skeptics of social marketing's value, map out a well-defined business strategy, choose metrics that matter, optimize your visibility to search engines and take advantage of the latest social search category.

Speakers:

Gillin is author of "The New Influencers and Secrets of Social Media Marketing." Schwartzman's podcast “On the Record...Online” looks at how technology is changing how organizations communicate.
