The geeks are hosting Iris Shoor, co-founder and VP product and marketing at Takipi, a Cloud / BigData startup (still in stealth mode). Iris was co-founder and VP Product at VisualTao, a Sequoia backed startup acquired by Autodesk in 2009. Following the acquisition, Iris served as the Product line manager for Autodesk’s flagship web and mobile product line (AutoCAD WS) - bringing it from zero to 10M users in less than two years.
On this meetup Iris will share how the app her previous company developed reached 10M downloads with a very limited marketing budget. After a slow start and several unsuccessful attempts to use traditional social marketing they began employing unconventional marketing methods and within weeks our downloads rate and traffic increased significantly.
Key points
- How they increased their presence in the blogosphere (or how to convince hundreds of bloggers to write about your product even though they don’t find it interesting).
- Using your existing users as marketers (creating interesting marketing materials by working together with your users).
- Going global - how they 3X their downloads by localizing their marketing (with a very limited budget and running everything from Israel).
In favor of international guests coming to this meetup, we will hold the lecture and Q&A in english.

I like the way Iris and her team did and do nowadays. Sure we can learn from them, it's not the money it's the creative.

מבקשת הארכת זמן עבור כל התקועים בפקק ביציאה מפארק אפק :/
אם אפשר לשמור את כל נושאי השיווק המעניינים לאחרי 18:30, זה יהיה נהדר! ;)

We are a little over a week away, and we hope you are as excited as we are! Here are some tips from the networking pros at Bizzabo on how to maximize your networking opportunities: - Try to meet new people - don't get stuck the entire day with people you already know. - Set measurable goals for yourself - meeting 5 new people, meeting a UX expert, etc.. It’s best to go through the Bizzabo community and mark leads even before the conference starts. - Show your value to new contacts, suggest introductions and see how you can help others to succeed. - Relax, feel comfortable in your environment, look people in the eye when you talk to them. - Most importantly - don't be shy, be social.
