  1. Ad:Tech 2012 Party Lineup

    March 29, 2012 by editor

    Hey guys! For all those attending Ad:Tech 2012 in San Francisco this year, rock on! I’ll be there myself and am planning on it being an incredible event. I also plan on making appearances at a number of parties this year, as well as possibly hosting my own shindig one night.

    If you guys haven’t seen the lineup yet, there are going to be a bunch of cool parties on Monday & Tuesday next week, such as the Mathmen Party, the Nami Media “Rouge” Rope Event, the Blumberg Investment Party, and the Clickbooth party. Those are just a few of many. All I can say is, some of these parties feature some RAD musicians, others have awesome giveaways, and some feature open bar. (I even know of one in particular that has all of the above!) There are a bunch of other hopping parties as well, taking place everywhere from San Francisco clubs to halls.

    To get the full lowdown on which parties are happening at Adtech this year, click the link. It’ll give you the lineup of who is throwing which party, what time, where, and some details about each one.

    Also, keep checking back for more details about a little somethin-somethin I am thinking about putting together in the middle of the week. :)

    I also want to highlight the Murray Newlands Affiliate Marketing Awards, which is going to be taking place on Tuesday night next week. It’s going to be an awesome event that will honor some truly talented and hard working affiliates. In addition, I’ve been asked to be one of the judges on the panel for this year’s amazing event taking place at the Minna Gallery. Other prestigious judges on the panel include Peter Bordes, Founder & CEO of MediaTrust, Tanya Alvarez, Founder & CEO of BlinkAds, Curtis Fullmer, Vice-President of Affiliate Marketing at Adknowledge, Inc., Firuze Gokce, Co-Founder & CEO of Affmeter, LLC, and Steve Hall, Founder of AdRants and MarketingVox. You can still buy tickets to the Murray Newlands Affiliate Marketing Awards.

    And for those of you who don’t know about Ad:Tech, it is a digital marketing event taking place April 3-4 in San Francisco, featuring a hefty crowd of leading marketers, keynote speakers, and companies. Ad:Tech is a way to learn about innovative ideas in the digital marketing world through breakout sessions, workshops, and exhibitors. Topics include brand, social, mobile, search, display, and a bunch more. Bottom line guys, Ad:Tech is a sweet convention that is super helpful with digital marketing products and services. Hope to see you there! :)

  3. Social Media, Meet Oscars

    February 26, 2012 by editor

    The Oscars this year is estimated to be a humongous Tweet-fest and is even rumored to be perhaps the biggest night in the history of social media. Only time will tell, but it certainly does seem like news shows and other media outlets who are covering the big event tonight, Sunday Feb. 24th, have lined up a fair amount of celebrity Tweet-ers, after parties, and even an Oscars app. Katherine Rosman of the Wall Street Journal reports,

    “With a slate of small, arty movie nominees and an old-school host who is more reliable than buzzy, this year’s Academy Awards broadcast may not set any television ratings records. But it’s poised for a shot at another title: It could be the biggest night yet for social media.

    The awards show is working hard to pump up its social-media clout as it tries to leverage a growing phenomenon: More and more viewers are supplementing the experience of merely watching their favorite TV shows by joining in simultaneous running commentaries on Twitter and Facebook.

    ABC, which will broadcast the awards Sunday, will have at least two people tweeting about what is happening backstage, including Shira Lazar, a Web-broadcast personality. The preshow red-carpet hosts will be asking celebrities questions that viewers have posted to Twitter. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which presents the awards, has a new feature available on Facebook that lets users choose which films and actors they expect to win, and share their picks with friends.

    In addition to the official cameras trained on the stage and audience, 20 cameras will be stationed in the red-carpet area and throughout the theater, including one at the lobby bar and a backstage “Thank You Camera” where winners can extend their acceptance speeches. Video from these cameras won’t be part of the TV broadcast but will be streamed on Oscar.com and the free mobile Oscars app. A ticker on the site and app will let followers know in real time who is appearing on which camera. The idea is to give people more access to live celebrity footage that they can chat about online.”

    To read the rest of Rosman’s Wall Street Journal article, go here.

    I will be curious to see how it pans out. It’s no surprise that social media is on the rise and growing by the minute right now, but it would be a pretty big deal if the Oscars tonight garner the most Tweets and attention in the social media realm than any other event to date.
