Social Media Marketing In Alaska

by · November 10, 2011

One of the winners of Social Media Explorer’s free passes to BlogWorld & New Media Expo last week was Elizabeth Nerland from Crescendo Consulting in Anchorage, Alaska. Crescendo is a firm focused on marketing services but one that is learning and transitioning into the social media realm.

I caught up with Elizabeth at BlogWorld to chat with her about what she was learning, what takeaways she would have to share with the folks back in Anchorage and the social media space in Alaska:

Brighter Smiles Through Social Media?

by · November 9, 2011

Our grand prize winner for Social Media Explorer’s free passes to last week’s BlogWorld & New Media Expo was Beth Gaddis from Coast Dental. Beth is charged with providing content and community management to 180 dentists offices that are a part of the Coast Dental brand. Talk about social media management!

She was super excited to be at BlogWorld and I not only had the chance to catch up with her for a quick episode of Social Media Explorer TV, but also got to hang out with her a bit at the show. Nothing like wings, beer and college football to bridge that virtual connection with someone into an in-real-life one!

And The Free BlogWorld Full Access Pass Goes To …

by · October 10, 2011

And here I thought our spring giveaway to reward one lucky person or business with a free, full-access pass to BlogWorld & New Media Expo would be hard to top. But the nominations we received for the free, full-access pass to BlogWorld Los Angeles were outstanding. While I’m not sure if we could top the great story of Justin Sullivan and how we were able to help him make a career transition and equip his family business with great learning, the stories behind the L.A. nominees are awesome. And it made it very difficult to choose a winner.

SME’s Pass Winner Soaks Up BlogWorld

by · May 27, 2011

We knew we were picking the right person to receive our free, full pass to BlogWorld & New Media Expo a few weeks ago when we chose Justin Sullivan. A home remodeler diagnosed with rheumatic fever and left to face a career unable to perform the taxing, physical tasks his profession requires, Justin was hoping to learn and grow into a role as a marketing person for his family’s remodeling business. But he didn’t have the experience or training to dive right in.

How To Throw A Great Tweet-Up

by · October 15, 2010

For the last three years, I’ve hosted a Tweet-up at Blog World & New Media Expo in Las Vegas. No, it has never been an “official” Blog World party, but Rick Calvert and the BWE organizers have always come and since it didn’t typically interfere with the official goings on, have appreciated my efforts in getting folks together for a little fun.

WebProNews Wraps Up BlogWorldExpo

by · November 17, 2007

Rob May, Todd Earwood and I had the good fortune of participating in an interview by WebProNews to give our thoughts on BlogWorldExpo last week. Since I was occupied and didn’t have a chance to sufficiently write a post wrapping up BWE my own self, and in a sudden fit of vanity, I thought I’d share.

And on a related note, the reporter, Abby Prince, is a fellow Morehead State alumn and radio-television major to boot. She is obviously the interesting one of the set.

Blog World Expo Friday: Planning & Payoff

by · November 9, 2007

Brogan and Owyang Orchestrate GeniusI would have thought it difficult to overshadow my excitement for my afternoon session at Blog World Expo on Friday. I’ve been looking forward to the social media strategy session featuring Jeremiah Owyang and Chris Brogan for a month. But my morning session and afternoon keynote bookended probably the coolest conference day I’ve ever experienced. From getting the scoop on blog analytics to listening to Mark Cuban talk about his experience blogging (not included in my recap, but available on other folk’s blogs), I had a blast, learned a lot and networked a lot more.
