Seminar - Who Wins The Social Revolution?

Social Media changed everything. It fundamentally changed the way we communicate and exchange information in the Information Age. Dave Saunders, President and Chief Idea Officer at Madison+Main leads participants on a fun and informative look at the interactive web. He explains Web from the PC Era through the 1.0 Period (think AOL) through Web 2.0 (blogs and social media) and highlights how the rules of the game have changed in Web 3.0 (semantic and mobile) and gives a look into the future at Web 4.0 (robots J).


Lunch - #BoldBrandsWin : The Winning Strategy for Companies in the Age of Convergence

Nationally recognized marketing and social media expert Dave Saunders, Chief Idea Officer at Madison+Main, delivers a hard-hitting and humorous look at why some companies win big and the rest try to play catch-up. As we transition from the Age of Information into the Age of Convergence, companies have to not only compete with each other, but have to compete for your attention. Dave reviews examples of successful brands, both large and small, and explains how they did it and how you can apply some of the same strategies to your organization, regardless of what you do or what you sell. You’ll also learn the four rules of brand building and that there are only three only kinds of brands. Audiences love the way Dave takes complicated subject matter, breaks it down into easy to understand concepts and keeps you entertained while doing it.
