While many marketers are familiar with these channels, at last year’s conference I spoke with many recent graduates and people who had recently joined their marketing team after years in another career and were hungry for information.  Even long time marketers may not be familiar with the channels they aren’t using. The map below shows my view of the online marketing universe.  It is a high level…

    5 Ways to Get More Leads Out of Your Webinars

    5 Marketing Tricks From the Healthcare IT and PR Conference (HITMC)

    Last week I attended and presented at the Healthcare IT Marketing and PR Conference (HITMC) in Las Vegas and walked away with a number of new things to try. 1.

The effectiveness is dependent on having perfect timing so practice your presentation at least a few times. 2. Treat your content like Thanksgiving turkey. Create it and then carve it up into smaller pieces you can use in other venues.…
