January 2008

Groundswell: Winning In A World Transformed By Social Technologies
Companies often approach social computing as technologies to deploy--a blog here, a podcast there--to achieve a marketing goal. A more coherent approach starts with defining the target audience and the relationship you want to build with them.

Whether you use social media for branding, web site optimization or just improved communications, you need to analyze customers' Social Technographics first, and then create a corresponding social strategy.

At the Norcal BMA January Networking Luncheon, join Forrester VP and Principal Analyst, Charlene Li to learn more about how this analytic approach can help you optimize your social media marketing efforts.

Measuring the Naked Conversation

We used to spend a lot of time worrying about tracking the media, but in today’s' era of "naked conversations", the media is proliferating faster than we can measure it. For the past two decades, Katie Delahaye Paine has been providing marketers and communications professionals the tools, data and information to help them make better business decisions. She’ll be at the Norcal BMA Monthly Networking Luncheon on February 27th to share her insights on how to quantitatively and qualitatively drive success for your clients.

Breakthrough: Making Good Marketing Better

You’re already doing it all, so why isn’t your marketing moving the needle more? At the March 26th BMA Monthly Networking Luncheon, learn the most common B2B technology marketing pitfalls, learn the tools and techniques that will help you avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Does your messaging sacrifice clarity for comprehensiveness? Do you use the right parts of your website to engage the right kind of customer? Do you frame problems to make your solutions important or relevant? Do you understand your “attention” competition? Do you act like a market leader even if you aren’t one?

For over 15 years, Martina Lauchengco has either been on the front-line of technology leaders, including Microsoft, Netscape and Opsware (now HP), or advising companies on how to get there. Join us for a presentation that will help you make the good marketing you already do, better.
