2012 Cross-Channel Marketing Symposium
May 9, 2012 | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Gannett/USA TODAY
McLean, VA (near Tyson’s Corner)
Is your organization successfully using cross‐channel marketing to reach and retain customers, donors, or members? We are talking about more than just using multiple channels.
Real Cross-Channel marketing is a very powerful tool and takes innovation and strategy! A true cross-channel plan focuses on the customer as they are followed and tracked while they switch from one channel to another. The brand needs to listen to the customer and engage them, at the right time with the right content on the right channel – that’s much harder to do than just pushing out the message through lots of channels!
Take 1 day out of your week to sharpen your cross-channel marketing skills…
…And take away innovative ideas and REAL case-study data from industry leaders who employed creativity, overcame limited resources and maximized available technologies to blend digital, social, and traditional media to generate campaign/brand awareness and lift response.
Check out the great program topics & speakers!
Group registrations are available!
If you are a company that provides integral products or services for cross-channel marketing then you will want to take advantage of our sponsorship opportunities by clicking here!

The ROI of Blogging
Andrew Hanelly, Director
Digital Strategy for TMG
As blogging has made its way from the basement to the board room, many organizations are tapping in. But many more are tapping out. This session will focus on how organizations of all sizes can plan, build, execute and generate ROI from a company blog.
As an attendee, you will learn from real-world blogging success stories, a formula for creating your own blog, a framework for measuring success on a blog and an argument (or two) to any internal naysayers (who still think blogging has no place in the digital strategy).
