Thursday, November 3rd from 6 – 7:30 pm: Advanced Techniques of Social Media.
Speakers to include Dr. Joan Van Tassel and Dr. Mary Beth McCabe, professors at National University; Brent Altomare, Executive Producer, Groovy Like a Movie; and Melodie Tao, Digital Marketing and Social Media Marketing Consultant, Educator and Professional Speaker.
Brent Altomare has no formal training in social media. He has never gone to school for social marketing. He doesn’t know the future of “one-to-many” communication. As a matter of fact, his “real” job is producer, director, and owner of Groovy Like a Movie – one of San Diego’s most successful video production companies. And yet, he has spoken about social media to organizations like PRSSA, The Balboa Park Marketing Coalition, The Ken Blanchard Companies, and of course, NATAS.
Why?
Brent is passionate about all forms of communication, and as someone who has to stay on top of technology for his “day job,” Brent has naturally gravitated towards using social media in his daily life and as a tool to market his business. His real-world examples, and achievable systems make him a great resource for those who are wondering how to move beyond “I have a Facebook page.”
Melodie Tao is a Marketing Consultant, Educator and Professional Speaker who specializes in Digital Marketing and Social Media. Her mission is to teach and inspire others how to grow their business and optimize their online presence through digital technology. As an International Public Speaker on marketing and social media, Melodie is passionate about sharing her expertise to empower her audience with tools and knowledge to be digitally proficient. Combining her experience in traditional media with digital
technology, Melodie has successfully launched interactive campaigns and promotions for national brands, including Ralphs/Kroger, Westfield Malls, Colgate Palmolive, AMC Theaters, Red Bull, The Online Marketing Summit and Credit.com.
