How does a former Military Serviceman with the US Army end up being the principal consultant for Social Marketing Conversations, a social media/marketing strategy consulting firm in Phoenix, Arizona? Well it all happened one fine day in March 2006, when a chance encounter brought together Robert Scoble (scobleizer.com), Chris Heur (SocialMediaClub.com) and our protagonist – and voilà, as they say, the rest is history!
This month we are pleased to host Steven Groves, founder of Social Marketing Conversations, and co-author of the ROI of Social Media (with Guy Powell and Jerry Dimos), to Social Media Club #12: Exploring the ROI of a Winning Social Marketing Programme. Guy Powell, founder of DemandROMI (a marketing consulting firm), and co-author of ROI of Social Media, will also be joining us for this event. Powell was instrumental in laying down the foundational elements in the book and is an author in his own right.
Groves will share some of his personal insights on how marketers and brands can design and put in place a fully-integrated SM programme that can be monitored, measured and give the best return to the bottom line.
The new book, ROI of Social Media, will be available for sale after SMCKL, with a book signing after the Q&A.
