SUMMARY:Not-So-Sexy Marketing: Exciting Ways to Market a Boring Product or Service Using Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a B2B or B2C marketer\, “boring” products and services can be challenging to represent on social. Our speakers this month are here to prove that myth wrong! Learn how industries like banking\, insurance\, finance\, manufacturing\, and hospitality are finding creative and engaging ways to amplify their message and social presence. \n  \nEVENT SUMMARY \n  \nThe Bad News: Trendy buzzwords like “blockchain” and “artificial intelligence” don’t apply to your brand. Your website isn’t blowing up because Oprah just named your product one of her “Favorite Things”. You’re not Nike or Apple\, and you certainly don’t have their marketing budgets. \nWhat you do have is a product or service that is traditionally “boring”. Or you compete in a market that is saturated with competitors. \n  \nThe Good News: You can still market your brand successfully\, even if you don’t have a “cool” product or service. You can be creative and innovative when your product is a basic necessity. And you can stand out in a saturated market—even without blowing your budget. \nIf you think your marketing is limited by the products or services you sell\, here’s your wake-up call! \n  \nKEY TAKEAWAYS \n  \n\nBust through the “boring” and explore multichannel approaches to convey your brand message\, including hacking your social media marketing\, employee engagement campaigns\, and outside-the-box events\n\n\nDiscover how to stand out in crowded markets by uniquely positioning your brand against competitors\n\n\nGet your questions answered during a panel Q&A session following the presentation\n\n  \nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS \n  \nSpencer X Smith – Founder\, AmpliPhi \nSpencer is the founder of social media marketing company AmpliPhi and an instructor at the University of Wisconsin and Rutgers University. He was formerly a vice president of sales for two Fortune 100 companies. \nHe’s been called a “Social Media Expert” by Forbes\, and AmpliPhi is the winner of the 2016\, 2017\, and 2018 InBusiness Magazine Executive Choice Award for Social Media Consulting Company. Spencer has spoken at over 200 events since 2015\, including a presentation at the New York Stock Exchange in 2017. His book “ROTOMA: The ROI of Social Media Top of Mind” was featured in Forbes and is an Amazon bestseller. \n  \nRachel DeGrand – Manager of Marketing Operations\, Hausmann-Johnson Insurance \nRachel joined Hausmann-Johnson Insurance (HJI) in 2015 and became manager of marketing operations in 2018.

Leslie also loves that marketing is different every day–one day she is building out customer personas\, tracking analytics\, and using technology to better predict customer needs\, and the next she’s in strategy meetings. \nOutside of work\, Leslie’s passion for women’s empowerment is demonstrated by her volunteerism\, as she coaches elementary girls’ softball and organizes an extracurricular girl’s reading club that encourages young women to get involved in reading and comprehension while building healthy relationships. \n  \nTIME: \n7:30 a.m. registration\, networking and caffeine\n8:00-9:30 a.m. presentation and questions \n  \nIf you aren’t able to join us in person\, Nick Palkowski from Live Action Production\, will be LIVE STREAMING this event on our Social Media Breakfast Madison Facebook page. \n  \nSPONSORS:  \n\nDreamBank\nPowderkeg\nThe Lone Girl Brewing Company\nKinKin Coffee Roasters\nSuttle-Straus\nMelissa Carlson Creative\nAnya Kubilus Photography\nWinbound\nLive Action Production\n608 Sound & Light – Thank you\, Steve!\nMinuteman Press\nTalent CPA\n\n  \nLOCATION \nThe Lone Girl Brewing Company will be hosting this month’s event in their brand new event space\, “The Landing at The Lone Girl”.
