Let's Continue the Discussion...

Based on feedback and offers from some members, we've decided to go Social this month. Given the purpose of this group is to talk at a more strategic level and not so much at a platform level the discussion will be as follows:

OBVIAM (http://obviam.co) - Jay Pring, Managing Director

OBVIAM provides services to organisations to help with their social media strategy and execution. They also provide training for Community Managers, Digital Marketing and others who are involved in social as a part of their job. Jay will bring a unique perspective having worked with some major brands that you would recognise. We'll let Jay talk more about that on the night.

ExactTarget (http://www.exacttarget.com.au) - Chip Kariyawasam, Account Development Executive

EXACTARGET is an email automation/marketing company recently acquired by salesforce.com. ExactTarget has an excellent research arm to their business and Chip will be presenting a social white paper. This is especially exciting because the data is Australian. Given there's no shortage of US data around social, it's refreshing to have some Australian data to help us make more informed decisions about our Aussie customers.

MarketingCube (http://www.marketingcube.com.au) - Adrian Jones, Managing Director

Adrian and the team are hosting this event and we're delighted to have these two organisations present to the group. Adrian will facilitate the session and wrap up the evening. We start at 6:00pm with drinks and nibbles and will conclude no later than 7:30pm.
