September luncheon: Converting Prospects to Customers Through Online Marketing

How can marketers maximize customer acquisition under tight budgets? In a slumping economy more organizations are shifting efforts to generate immediate, measurable impacts for their limited dollars - which means more emphasis in online marketing. Getting people to respond to online marketing tactics is equal parts art and science – with a heavy dose of testing to continually improve results. See real world case studies for The Wall Street Journal, XM Radio, AARP, and Chase Bank among other companies.

Brooks Bell, Founder and President of Brooks Bell Interactive, presents how marketers in diverse organizations succeeded in driving customer acquisition with online marketing campaigns.
