Event: B-to-B Marketers Who Do Social Media Right
When: Thu, Feb 2 11:00 am – 1:30 pm Description: In the world of business-to-business marketing, no other topic even comes close to the buzz generated by the emergence of social media in the past couple of years. The blogosphere is full of advice on implementing a Facebook or Twitter strategy, creating your own blog or leveraging SEO and SEM to attract new customers. But aside from the buzz, has anyone actually incorporated these tools into their marketing efforts with any success? Make a point of attending BMA Chicago’s February 2 Marketing Innovators Luncheon seminar at the Standard Club for a very special panel discussion featuring three of our corporate members that have successfully implemented social media strategies and programs that are driving results. Our panelists will share their case studies and will give you tools and ideas for implementing social media strategies in your organization. Our panelists were selected from dozens of entries in our competition. The panelists submitted examples of social media strategies and programs that utilized at least two social media channels in their marketing mix. A panel of social media experts chose the winning case studies based on creativity, results, and integration with the rest of the marketing mix. This is the latest BMA Chicago panel discussion on this topic, following events featuring social media thought leaders’ insight held last year and in 2010. The February 2 event will build on those past events, which focused upon new social media tools that were not yet integral parts of most companies’ marketing efforts.

When: Wed, Feb 8 7:30 am – 9:00 am Description: After decades of an overreliance on debt and the resulting crises, Western economies find themselves in the unusual position of having to look to China and the Middle East to sustain many of their funding needs. This is leading to a paradigm shift in the way that Western nations interact with their creditors. However, this is not the first time in history that unsustainable debt levels have led to systemic upheavals in governments, currencies, international relations, and social order. Please join The Chicago Council on Global Affairs with author and The Economist columnist Philip Coggan as he explores how the conceptions and uses of debt have evolved throughout history and now caused yet another period of turmoil, one which he argues is leading to the emergence of a New World Order. Philip Coggan is the Buttonwood columnist of The Economist. Previously, he worked for the Financial Times for twenty years, where he served as investment editor, founded the “Short View” column, and wrote the “Long View” and “Last Word” columns. In 2009, he was voted Senior Financial Journalist of the Year in the Wincott Awards and Best Communicator in the Business Journalist of the Year awards. Among his books are The Money Machine: How the City Works and The Economist Guide to Hedge Funds: What They Are, What They Do, Their Risks, Their Advantages. Coggan’s new book, Paper Promises: Debt, Money, and The New World Order, will be available for purchase and signing following the program.
