aimClear® Search Marketing Blog

It was bound to happen… the new decade  has barely begun (for us Minnesotans, likewise for winter… *shivers uncontrollably*) and already, the aimClear crew is in the throws of an über-busy schedule chock-full of new projects, exciting expansion, and international industry events out the wazoo. Our 2011 conference calendar looms enormous on the horizon, and we’re stoked to say that this year, our event agenda comprises a harmonious blend of familiar functions and first-time events.

While our crew is still ninja-combat battling over proactively compromising who gets to go to what, let’s have a peek at what’s on our speaking engagement & press pass plates. (P.S.- If you’ll be attending any of these events, be sure to say hi. We don’t bite. Without provocation.)

OMMA Global | San Francisco, CA | February 28-March 1
As quickly as February’s come, it’s nearly gone– but not before a jaunt over to sunny San Francisco for OMMA Global. This event showcases a star-studded line-up of presenting companies including PayPal, Expedia, Microsoft, CBS, Yahoo, eBay, The Weather Channel, GM, the Gap, Pepsi, Walmart, Nike, and Macy’s, and an audience composed of everyone from advertisers to executives, buyers to sellers. Our own Marty Weintraub (@aimClear) and Manny Rivas (@mannyrivas) will team up to share tips & tactics on  Deadeye Video SEO & Winning Universal SERPs, a must-attend event for sure.

SMX West | San Jose, CA | March 8-10
Hell-bent on evading Old Man Winter’s grip for as long as possible, more of our team, including Merry Morud (@merrymorud) and Molly Ryan (@MoCR521) will join Marty & Manny in San Jose, CA just in time for SMX West. In addition to churning out kick-butt coverage & live-tweets from this massive search industry conference, aimClear will be blazing a few new trails this year with our Facebook Marketing Intensive workshop. This full-day event is a deep-dive into all-things Facebook, from Demographic Research to Community Manager Training… it’s also a ticketed affair, so register today to ensure your seat in Mama’s kitchen.

They say that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. That’s true, if lion = SMX West, and lamb = SES New York. Yes, after San Jose, aimClear will shoot clear across the country to the city that never sleeps, New York, New York. Search Engine Strategies is an event that holds a special place in our calendar’s heart, and we’re looking forward to rounding out the month with the SES gang. From the aimClear team, Lauren (@beebow), Matt (@Matt_Peterson), and Kathy (@kjalivay) will be front & center, clutching press badges– live-tweeting and blogging up a storm. Marty will take the stage at 2:30 pm EST on Day 2 to share some Killer Facebook Targeting Tactics, coincidently, the session’s namesake.

As the year rolls on, we’ll share the skinny on how the rest our Q3 & Q4 conf agenda will shake out. Meanwhile, to whet your appetite, our possible menu includes…

We hope to see you at one, if not several (if not all!) of these events throughout 2011.  If you can’t make it, be sure to tune in to the Twitter handles mentioned above, and right here in aimClear blog for all the juicy conference coverage to follow.
