Keynote: "Engagement Marketing", presented by Dana Pethia, Constant Contact

Inspired by the new book Engagement Marketing, written by small business advocate Gail Goodman (CEO of Constant Contact), this presentation will help your audience understand how the marketing landscape for small business has changed and how to make that change work for them. 

The presentation focuses on some key ideas: word of mouth in a social world, the engagement marketing cycle (which relates to the creation of great customer experiences that lead to on-going conversations and engagement) and how your audience can use that engagement to drive social visibility that will bring customers back through their door and introduce new prospects to their business.
