These days, the hip question to ask is whether to invest resources in SEO or social media. But if you get rid of the silos and instead focus on reaching your audience and solving their problems, you can reach customers via both search and social media more easily than if you just focused on one or the other.

Join Social Media Club Seattle (SMC Seattle) at the Seattle Art Museum on Tuesday, October 25 for a presentation featuring Vanessa Fox, author of the critically acclaimed “Marketing in the Age of Google: Your Online Strategy IS Your Business.” She’ll discuss the intersection of search and social and how to harness the power of holistic marketing (search AND social) for increased brand awareness.
