Vocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading marketing cloud provider, announced three webinars for October. These instructional, hour-long sessions will help marketers rethink their tactics to adapt to the new, technology-driven world of marketing.
- Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2:00 p.m. EST (UTC/GMT - 4h): Ian Greenleigh - Social Media PR Hacking

Brands want media coverage, but reporters’ inboxes are crowded and pitching takes time. Luckily, there’s another way to get earned media success, according to “The Social Media Side Door” author Ian Greenleigh. In this webinar on Oct. 16, Greenleigh will cover social networking tactics to bypass the traditional pitching process and open new lines of engagement with reporters to gain increased media coverage.
Technology has changed marketing, but many businesses are having trouble adjusting. Turn disruption into opportunity by using technology to better engage your target audience, says Mitch Joel, author of “CTRL ALT Delete.” On Oct. 26, Joel will lead a webinar to teach you how to reboot your marketing, use utility to strengthen your customer relationships and leverage five key tech trends to connect with customers faster than your competition.
What’s next for marketing? On Oct. 30, Brian Solis, Altimeter Group’s world-renowned technologist and author of “What’s the Future of Business?” will tackle that question during the “Future of Marketing” webinar. Solis will map out the future’s key marketing trends, including how to reach the ‘Generation C’ of connected consumers, the power of shared customer experiences and why they're crucial for marketers, and six new principles of online influence every marketer needs to know.
“A critical time for marketers is when their tried-and-true tactics don’t work as well as they once did,” said Vocus Chief Marketing Officer Mark Gambill. “These webinars will guide marketers through the ever-shifting landscape of technology-based marketing and help them to avoid the pitfalls of status quo.”
