Oakland, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2007 -- Ypulse.com, the leading independent blog for teen media and marketing professionals, in partnership with conference producer Modern Media, today announced the launch of the 2007 Mashup (www.mashup.ypulse.com), a two-day event taking place July 16 -17, Hotel Nikko, San Francisco, CA, that targets marketers who want to reach today's totally wired generation.
Chuck Cordray, VP/General Manager, Digital Media, Hearst; Jay Frank, Head of Programming, Yahoo! Music; Jane Grenier, Publisher, Conde Nast Flip.com; Claudia L'Amoreaux, Community Developer, Second Life; J Scavo, President, MySpace Records; and Melanie Strong, U.S. Brand Manager, NIKEiD, Nike; among others, will help media and marketing professionals learn how to harness the power of social media and technology to reach the Generation Y, teen and tween audience.
"This event was inspired by Ypulse readers, who all share a desire to reach young people in an authentic way," said Anastasia Goodstein, Ypulse founder and co-producer of the Mashup. "Because technology is such an integral part of young people's lives - it's how they stay hyper-connected, express themselves and consume and create media - we designed the event to help media and marketing professionals leverage social media, virtual reality environments and wireless in ways that are not disruptive."
Building on the success of Ypulse regional Mashups in New York, San Diego and Los Angeles, the national 2007 Mashup will present interactive, thought-provoking discussions and presentations covering marketing and media topics related to online video, podcasting, SMS and cell phones, instant messaging, video gaming, online music and more. The 2007 Mashup will also feature two pre-conferences on July 16: The Music Mashup and Cracking The Code: Marketing To Teens In The Digital Age.
At both pre-conferences and the main event, leading industry experts will be on hand to discuss social networking, virtual worlds and non-traditional marketing; youth activism, branding, experiential marketing and creating movements; and the totally wired life's impact on home, school, socialization and identity formation.
Attendees will include brand marketers, media buyers, media planners and other thought leaders who decide which new media to use, and who also drive the adoption of new products, technologies, and brands. Launch sponsors include: Photobucket, Swivel Media and DayZ Loop.
