Luncheon Meeting – September 27, 2017

Topic:  Control Your Message to Drive Demand and Create Sales Opportunities
Facilitator: Dan O’Keeffe, President, O’Keeffe Agency

How do you control your message to your audience?

With all of the competition, clutter and confusion in the marketplace, how do you control your message and share your story to close that winning sale? Understanding how to use owned, earned, and paid media to tell a compelling story could be the deciding factor that separates you from your competitors and elicits action from your target audiences.

The world of sales and marketing has changed. Content is now a salesperson’s greatest ally. In this talk, you’ll learn how you and your organization can leverage your “owned” media, such as your company blog and social media channels, your “earned” channels, such as news articles and third-party blogs, and “paid” media, such as Google Ad Words and boosted social media posts, to tell your story and create sales opportunities. Dan O’Keeffe has been managing content marketing campaigns in various forms for more than 20 years, and will share how you can achieve success for your organization.
