10 reasons to attend Social Media Down Under.
Three Australian CEOs will come to speak at Social Media Down Under in Sydney to share their very best advice with you. It’s a full day event on Wednesday 3rd July at Darling Harbour’s, Maritime Museum.
- Are you realising you need the up-to-the-minute skills to reach your marketing potential at work?
- Do you have one major bottleneck you’d like to solve?
- Are you looking for that breakthrough ‘Aha‘ moment?
- Are you a marketing person who’s looking to get sign off to come to Social Media Down Under?
- Or are you the CEO or CMO making that decision yourself?
You are not alone.
Either way, here are 10 reasons why you should register your team for Social Media Down Under today.
Reason 1. Because whatever marketing challenges you’re facing these CEOs will have been in that situation before, and you can ask them first hand how to overcome it.
If you’re running a company, a division, a marketing team or you’re a social media professional,you’ll learn things that will change the way you look at social media and enhance the way you use content marketing.
Reason 2. Because you’ll discover how one CEO won a $50k deal through his blog.
Reason 3. Because he’ll share with you how he used Facebook to recruit four physios who each bring in $100k revenue per year.
Reason 4. Because the same CEO will reveal how he uses social media to attract, recruit, retain and delight his team of 50 physios. In fact his company The Physio Co has been on BRW’slist of Australia’s Best Places to Work for 5 years straight.
That’s right, you’ll met Tristan White, CEO of The Physio Co, at Social Media Down Under.
Reason 5. Because you’ll hear from one CEO who built the digital department of a Big 4 accounting firm. And you’ll see where else you can derive value from social media (hint: it’s not in marketing).
Reason 6. Because you’ll discover what the future holds in social media for corporates and entrepreneurs in Australia.
Yes, you’ll meet Pete Williams, the CEO of Deloitte’s Centre for The Edge Australia.
Reason 7. Because you’ll hear from a CEO who has grown his profitable web based accounting software firm using social media and content marketing.
Reason 8. Because you’ll see how he did it without spending a cent on traditional adverts and without accepting venture capital.
His stunningly simple approach is exactly what you and your team can replicate with your business. Build your social media profile, enhance your online reputation, grow customer numbers and compete successfully with much bigger firms.
The third CEO you’ll meet at Social Media Down Under is Marc Lehmann, CEO of Saasu.
Reason 9. Because these people are the best. I personally follow, interact with and know these CEOs to be the very best at using social media for business.
I know you will learn a tremendous amount from them and that’s why they’ve agreed to take time out of their busy lives to share their best advice, tips and stories with you.
Reason 10. Because you must out-learn the competition. Mastering these social media and content marketing skills is absolutely critical to business and career success this decade.
Just think how much social media has changed in the last 12 months, and how content marketing is now really on the map.
Now imagine how the skills you’ll learn on Wed 3rd July will propel your career or business in the year ahead. You will be completely up to speed after this one day event and you’ll be full of ideas to implement straight away. Guaranteed.
In addition to these 3 CEOs there are 10 more speakers who are authors, thought leaders and professional marketers.
And you get all this content for the remarkable price of $347 per ticket or $247 for two or more tickets. That’s way less than it costs for one hour of any of these speakers’ time.
It’s 100% tax deductible and you’ll receive a tax receipt immediately.
Bring your team, so you can all be on the same page for the new financial year.
We’re personally very excited about hearing from these CEO speakers. Thanks for considering this event. You won’t want to miss it!
