When attending industry events (in this case, #SES2010), folks sporting the “Press” badge may tell you that food is a coveted reward. Our proud mission is to churn out quality coverage in a timely manner, and it’s one we take quite seriously. Sacrifices must be made. Sometimes, that sacrifice is breakfast. Sometimes, lunch. So yes, food can become coveted, almost revered. Free food even more so. Cupcakes? We may as well erect a 50 foot shrine.
Perhaps this is the reason why oodles of live-bloggers (as well as general conf attendees & speakers) packed into Mari Luangrath‘s solo presentation, deliciously titled: Shoes, Cupcakes and Social Media: Building an Army of Brand Ambassadors. Or, perhaps they were just super jazzed to soak up the tactics & takeaways sure to be shared in this hour-long social media marketing case study from planet awesome. When we weren’t drooling over the 7 boxes of cupcakes stacked on stage, aimClear live-tweeted this session (via @beebow). Full coverage resides below… Read the rest of this entry »

Throughout #SESCHI 2010, citations of search & social marketing case studies have run rampant. “Did you hear about the Old Spice campaign? How about Skittles!?” Um, yeah. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve heard of them, maybe even posted on their branded Facebook page or tweeted at their spokesperson… desperately begging for him to engage you in a hilarious (& steamy-dreamy…) viral YouTube video…
The B2Bers among the Search Engine Strategies crowd were hungry for some hardcore business-facing case studies to bring home and proudly present to their bosses, like a beaming schoolgirl (or boy!) handing momo & dad a straight-A report card. The B2B Marketing panel did not disappoint, with presenters Mischa Stephens, senior optimization specialist at Google, and Chris Long, SVP of e-commerce and marketing at L-com, Inc. delivering the goods.

The beginning of the end of Day 1 at #SESCHI 2010 found some marketers fidgeting in their final session rooms, anxious to get to the cocktail reception (free-drink tickets clutched tightly in clammy hands…). But it’s safe to say that those attending the “Delivering Great Content” panel were more anxious for the strategies sure to be shared by a power-house team of presenters more than anything else. Greg Jarboe, president and co-founder of SEO-PR, Michael DeHaven, SEO Product Manager, Bazaarvoice & Heather Lloyd-Martin, CEO, SuccessWorks dolled out great insights on three facets of content: video content, user-generated content and SEO copywriting strategies.
