For marketers, social media is the ?new? normal. With Facebook surpassing a billion users, Twitter influencing brand perception and social change, and viral YouTube videos generating phenomenal buzz (positive and negative), marketing via social media is a must for brands and businesses, large and small.
We designed SMX Social Media Marketing to help you understand, navigate and leverage the richly varied, but sometimes confusing channels that make up the social online universe. Sessions focus on best practices, tactics, tips and success stories from some of the most effective social media marketers and brand managers in the world. We?ll also glean learnings from social media campaigns that went astray. Sometimes catastrophically.
We?ve expanded SMX Social Media Marketing and moved to lively Las Vegas on December 5-6, 2012. And don?t worry ? what happens in Las Vegas doesn?t need to stay there. All of the great tactics and tips you?ll learn are yours to use immediately to take your social media marketing efforts to the next level.
Here?s a preview:

Social media is most effective when you earn the trust of fans, followers and customers.

Social media platforms offer sophisticated and often unique targeting options; you?ll learn optimal uses of each at SMX Social Media Marketing.
