The Digital Marketing Workshop, Friday, November 11

The EMU Center for Digital Engagement is excited to invite you to the sixth annual Digital Marketing Workshop to be held Friday, November 11, from 8 AM to 2 PM (with registration opening at 7:30 AM). Please be our guest at the early bird registration rate of just $28 (valid through October 31 with discount code Early, $40 without code).

This year, we’re honored to have Douglas Mott, CEO of RepairClinic.com as our opening keynote. Using a Digital First strategy, Repair Clinic has grown to $80 million in sales, with over 97% coming from the web. The key to RepairClinic.com’s strategy: Using YouTube hosted how-to videos to draw in home repair wannabes and turn them into dedicated, returning customers. RepairClinic.com’s strategy is well suited to many Michigan companies, and we’re extremely happy that Douglas has agreed to share it first hand with our audience.

In addition, this year’s workshop will be stocked with speakers from digital leaders such as Google, FaceBook, General Motors, Fox TV (National), WXYZ Detroit, iProspect, Daniel Brian Advertising, and many others. We will have tracks on integrated digital marketing as well as the new face of media. We will close the workshop with a lunch panel discussion entitled “Digital Strategies on a Budget: Lessons from Small Business Owners and Their Marketing Ninjas”.

All sessions are designed with the beginning to intermediate practitioner in mind. You can see the program here and almost complete list of speaker bios here. In our six years of doing the now rebranded Digital Marketing Workshop, we believe this is our best program yet, and we are excited to invite you to come to this year’s event.

The $28 early bird ticket covers a delicious breakfast and lunch in addition to many chances to interact with industry experts, faculty, and advanced digital marketing students during and between sessions. As always, we’re happy to answer any questions you may have regarding The Workshop. Please address all questions to the Director of the Center for Digital Engagement, Bud Gibson (fgibson@emich.edu).

N.B. Previous attendees of Center for Digital Engagement events may be surprised by the new name, The Digital Marketing Workshop. Last year, given the evolution in content, we decided to rebrand The Search Marketing Workshop. We still hold to the same high level of content. The name now just reflects our coverage of the last few years.
