April 30, 2010 - In keeping with our mandate of
offering our clients the latest and best in web marketing, Marketing Breakthroughs regularly attends important
web marketing events. Earlier this month, our Web Marketing Manager
extraordinaire Dave
Delage attended the Search Marketing Expo Toronto. Marketing
Breakthroughs was one of the only Ottawa marketing firms to have
attended this mega industry event. As predicted, we brought back
some cutting-edge search marketing techniques for the local Ottawa
market.
This two day event on April 8th and 9th in Toronto featured some
of the most impressive names and brightest minds in the industry
today, including keynote speaker Avinash
Kaushik, evangelist for Google and author of Web
Analytics 2.0 and
Web Analytics an Hour a Day, Peter
Farfaras of Microsoft Canada and
Warren Raisch of Digitaria, plus many others.
Much was discussed and talked about over the event's two days and
was delivered in a format that included keynote speeches, breakout
sessions and panel discussions. The main areas of focus were:
• Trends and techniques for the latest
search engine optimization;
• Changes to search engines, social
networking and online services that are affecting local businesses
and in particular SMB's (small medium-sized businesses) such as
Google Maps, personalized searches, and peer review sites like
HomeStars;
• An insider's view on where advertising
and technology is going: mobile and social networking, augmented
reality and iPhone aps.
Dave's mission was to collect as many cutting-edge search
marketing techniques as possible, and he delivered. On Friday,
April 16th, Dave held a highly informative and detailed lunch and
learn sharing what he learned with the rest of the MB team. MB
staffers soaked in the latest search engine techniques and learned
practical applications for MB's client base. His session cut to the
heart of how MB can effectively apply these techniques to our
medium-sized business clients. As Dave put it: "It's doing what we
do now but even better."
