Brightline Interactive CEO and Creative Director Erik Muendel to Speak at Digital Day
(PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- Erik Muendel, CEO and Creative Director at Brightline Interactive, will be delivering a presentation on the integration of social media into event technology during the 2013 Digital Day with the Direct Marketing Association of Washington. The day-long conference will be held October 16th at the Gannett Headquarters in McLean, VA. Erik’s presentation, titled: “Social Machines: Social Media for Events” will take place at 11 AM.
Social machines are experiences that transform digital actions into tangible results via the use of social media and a physical apparatus that serves to attract users. These experiences are incentivized, so that consumers choosing to, for example, tweet using a specific hashtag crafted by the brand, earn the chance of winning a prize. The tweets sent from the users’ phones create a physical action—perhaps blowing air into a balloon, or shooting paint from a gun—until an end result is achieved—the balloon is popped, or a painting is completed. Social machines allow brands to capture user data, and are completely social media-integrated for optimal use at all kinds of events.
The Direct Marketing Association of Washington is the largest regional direct marketing association in the US. DMAW members are end-users, vendors, suppliers, agencies, freelancers, educators, and students, the majority of whom are located in the Washington Metropolitan, Baltimore, and Central Virginia areas.
Erik has extensive speaking experience, and is a well-respected leader in the experiential marketing industry. Though he covers many different topics, Erik is specifically focused on the areas of emerging technologies, integrating digital experiences into on-site activations, and developing attractive, engaging interfaces for seamless user experiences.
Erik’s previous speaking appearances include Event Marketing Summit, ad:tech San Francisco, Digital Summit, EVENTtech, ad:tech New York, The Future of Touch and Interactivity, and Ignite DC. Erik is also the founder of the Meetup.com group #DCExperiential.
