Managing Online Brand Reputation

Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2015
Time: 5pm HKT / 5am ET

What do you do when a customer lets fly at you on a high profile review site or when an anonymous association launches a surprise attack on your Twitter and Instagram page? When a competitor trashes your products anonymously on a consumer review platform, or when misinformation and disinformation run rife across the web during a major crisis?

Online media has really taken off in the past decade, yet organizations of all shapes and sizes continue to tip toe nervously before irritated customers, aggrieved employees, eagle-eyed activists, skeptical bloggers, and opportunistic trolls. Big names are easily sullied and hard won reputations dismantled in today's volatile, judgmental, and unforgiving court of public opinion.

Attend this webinar and learn about how to tackle the issues on protecting and defending your brand's name and image on the internet.

  • The top strategic, societal, behavioral, operational and other kinds of threats to your reputation posed by online activities
  • How leading multi-national corporations handle serious online attacks on their businesses and reputations
  • How you can prepare for, respond to, and recover from serious incidents and crises using social media
  • The tactics and implementations needed to ensure reputations are kept in online campaigns

Join us and learn how to extract the true value of your big data by:

Building a Successful Email Campaign on Meaningful Data

Date: October 1, 2015
Time: 12pm ET/ 9am PT

Living in the Information Age means marketers have access to more consumer and audience data than ever before. We have become skilled at collecting, but have we learned how to interpret? Can we ask our data to offer up more complex conclusions?

Data on its own is not the goal, but the means to draw insights about our networks, and, as Nate Silver said, "As the amount of information increases, the complexity of relationships between this information increases faster."

With email as the cornerstone of your marketing campaign, are you using meaningful data to successfully propel your customer's journey to conversion and purchase?

In this webinar, email marketing experts will cover:

  • Utilize data to improve campaign effectiveness - the complexity factor
  • Learn how to integrate real-time data with other data to make the most effective campaigns - high speed agility
  • Discover how integrating email data can cut costs on other touch points - the business of a customer journey

Preparing for the Mobile Majority: How to Win When Mobile Matters Most

Date: October 17, 2013
Time: 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT

Join Urban Airship's Chief Marketing Officer Brent Hieggelke to discuss what leading companies are doing now to prepare for the inevitable: when mobile is the primary influence on business.

Presenter(s):
Brent Hieggelke, Chief Marketing Officer, Urban Airship

Display further details

For many businesses, we've passed the tipping point. The majority of customers interact with brands on mobile. The majority of revenue is influenced by mobile.

This consumer-driven trend is accelerating, but marketers aren't keeping up. Many react to the mobile revolution by trying to fit a square peg (the old web) in a round hole. Many allocate only a small fraction of total marketing resources to mobile.

This webinar explores the reasons behind - and solutions for - this disconnect, believing that winning brands are constantly learning and evolving in the new mobile marketplace.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

  • Why mobile must be the No. 1 focus for your organization
  • Why apps are the most valuable owned media channel
  • How location and personalization influence your mobile strategies
  • Best practices from global brands making a huge impact with mobile
  • Advanced use cases that no one is taking advantage of - yet.

Brent HieggelkeBrent Hieggelke is the CMO of Urban Airship, which enables the world's top brands to earn and maintain a presence on their customers' mobile devices through mobile relationship management solutions. Previously, he spent a decade helping brands optimize digital marketing initiatives in executive marketing posts at WebTrends, TouchClarity and Omniture. Most recently, Brent started and ran Second Porch, the first Facebook-integrated social vacation rental site sold to HomeAway, Inc. in May 2011. Early in his career, Brent co-founded New City, a media company in Chicago. Brent has been awarded multiple marketing awards, and is a frequent speaker at both marketing and digital conferences.

Behind the Backlinks - Why They Rank

Date: April 18, 2013
Time: 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT

The Page One Power research department picked a random keyword and did extensive research into the backlinks for the top three results.

Our team initially used popular research tools, and then they transited to human reviewers for the project. The analysis took over 120 hours to complete. Our researchers looked into the quality of their links, including relevance, Domain Authority and other key factors that indicate why the top three search results hold their current positions.

Jonathan Ball, VP of Business Development, Page One Power

Join Jon Ball as he walks you through the data and key takeaways from this important research.

Key takeaways:

  • The actual number of links required to rank highly for a lucrative keyword
  • The amount of spam compared to the actual links found in these backlink portfolios
  • How the factor of relevance plays an important role in the rankings

Jonathan BallJon was originally trained as a fine portrait photographer at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. His business sense and marketing prowess propelled his portrait studio to be the most prestigious, successful studio in the state of Idaho for many years. His desire to learn online marketing led him to research SEO to keep his portrait site on page one. He grew tired of portraiture and in a joint venture with his brother opened Page One Power 2009. In late 2010 they decided to pursue link building exclusively. Page One Power now builds links for discriminating clientele all over the globe.

Date: April 16, 2013

Get Smart - Seven Shades of Mobile: The New Rules of Mobile Marketing

Date: November 27, 2012
Time: 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT

A groundbreaking study from AOL delivers surprising insights into mobile behavior.

Mobile advertising has been hailed as the future of advertising - the holy grail of location-based personalized ad experiences. Then why is there such a divide between mobile consumer usage and mobile ad spend? Using pioneering research methods, AOL has uncovered several insights that run counter to the traditional view of how smartphones are used, unveiling an entirely new structure for how marketers should be thinking about mobile.

Digging deep into mobile user motivations, the research looked at not just "what" people are doing with their smartphones but "why." The results uncovered seven different "shades" or motivations of mobile. The biggest one? Me Time. Me Time accounts for almost half (46%) of all smartphone app and website motivation, averaging 864 minutes per month per user*. And more significantly for marketers, Me Time occurs at home. It's time to rethink your mobile strategy.
