Topic: Building and Fostering a Search Marketing Culture in your Organization
Speaker: Corey Morris, Director of Digital Strategy & Marketing, Voltage
If you’re an SEO or PPC practitioner working in the trenches on a daily basis, you’ve likely had some challenges in your own organization (or with organizations you work with) on moving conversations about search marketing from a siloed marketing channel to part of the company culture. It was recently quoted that only 21% of companies even budget for SEO. There are many efficiencies to be gained by integrating tasks and data within marketing departments and companies as a whole as we know that the old days of channel marketing without collaboration are gone.This presentation will help you to find common ground and work to build a search marketing culture in your organization or those that you work with no matter what your functional role is. There are also tips for building a successful partnership with an agency partner if you have multiple companies/teams involved with your digital marketing.
