Marketing Melodie Presents: Digital Media Dinners
A month ago I announced a Call for Speakers for an upcoming event. I’m now excited to announce the first of my Digital Media Dinners event series: Facebook and Twitter for Business.
I’ve met many business owners throughout the past year that are challenged in getting started with Social Media so I’ve taken the initiative to be a resource in this area. My goal for the event is to have attendees walk away with tactical and practical tips they can implement immediately into their marketing strategy. I also want to provide an opportunity for networking and growing business connections.
Every business owner knows they need a social media presence. Going to another event or conference and listening to someone talk about the “importance” of being on social media will not help grow your business. The real value now comes from being empowered with knowledge and tools on how to actually use social media properly. At the Digital Media Dinners attendees will learn hands on tips for excelling in Social Media.
The first Digital Media Dinners event takes place on Tuesday November 9th , 5:30pm at Jasmine Seafood Restaurant. The event will focus on two popular networks, Facebook and Twitter.
EVENT FORMAT:
5:30-6:30: Networking, Buffet Style Dinner
6:30-7: Presentation by Marketing Melodie
7-8: Panel Discussion, Audience Q & A (Panelists will share success stories on how their businesses have expanded with the use of Social Media.)
Confirmed Panelists: Steve Stoloff, CEO of Vavi Sport and Social Club; Daniel Matthews, Marketing Director of the San Diego Asian Film Foundation; additional panelists TBA
Advanced Registration is $45 per person and $55 at the door. Marketing Melodie Facebook Fans will receive $5 off.
Event attendees must pre-register on the event page here. I look forward to seeing everyone at Marketing Melodie’s Inaugural Digital Media Dinners event!
Special thanks goes out to the event venue host, Jasmine Seafood Restaurant. Jasmine serves San Diego’s freshest seafood prepared Cantonese style, just like you’ll find in Hong Kong. Join them for Dim Sum, bring your friends for family-style dinner, or contact them to plan your next reception or business luncheon in their banquet facilities. They’re centrally located in Kearny Mesa, have adjustable private rooms to fit 10 to 200 people and event space for more than 500.
Glimpse of a Real Live San Diego Earthquake on Social Media
Duck and Cover? No way! Tweet and post a Facebook update? This is our first instinct!
Another earthquake hit San Diego this evening and it’s evident that Social Media has revolutionized the entire earthquake experience. Rather than making sure we’re safe with the good ol’ “duck and cover” routine, the first thing on our minds was to socialize with others experiencing the earthquake and to make sure and let people know that we “definitely felt that one”.

5 Ways to Engage Twitter Followers While at a Conference
This blog was originally titled: “How to Not Annoy Your Twitter Followers While At a Conference” but I changed the title to focus on what’s positive and what I do have (which is engaged followers) rather than what I’m lacking (which would be unfollowers).
The idea for this post came to mind during DMA09. I appreciate that content and conversations at conferences inspires me with creative blog ideas. Several conversations around social media were sparked by my usage during the event. Read more
