Brian Massey, Conversion Scientist, Conversion Sciences
When we consider a major change to our Web presence, we usually start with the visitors. However, we tend to take our favorite stories, our most interesting demographics, and our most desirable customers and roll them into a single vision; a vision of a person that doesn't exist. "Touchpoint personas" allow us to target the real people visiting our sites and tell us exactly how to convert them.

Simon Salt, CEO & Founder, IncSlingers
Chad Sour, Account Executive, Moroch | PR
With social media adoption rates growing at an exponential rate, consumers have never been closer to and had more influence upon the brands they use. Their experiences with brands - both good and bad - are accessible to vast numbers of people in real time. Companies, in turn, have never been closer to their customers. As a result, we've seen an unprecedented, necessary shift in the way brands communicate and connect with consumers as well as other businesses.
In this session, Chad Sour of Moroch | PR and Simon Salt of IncSlingers will explore two of the most prominent social media platforms companies are using today - Twitter and blogs. They will delve into the questions companies should be asking to set themselves up for social media success. What do we hope to achieve through social media? What's our brand's personality? What does that personality look, feel and sound like? And they will share examples of brands who have tweeted and blogged their way to success.
