Smojoe with City Events seminar, How to Market Events in Toronto went off smoothly at the Spoke Club on Weds Oct 14th , and we had an excellent audience that came to listen and take notes – twelve folks shared their own ideas in exchange for a free 375ml jar of pure Canadian honey. The first half of the talk was Deb Lewis doing her thing, sharing her secrets and generally bringing the gathering together. At the very start of the night she polled the audience for a show of hands to determine that pretty much everyone in the crowd was somehow involved in event marketing.

Who are they? That’s what everyone wants to know. And what do they do, exactly? Raymi the Minx and I have been talking about the way blogging has evolved for the last ten years and where it will go in the next decade. She has been writing and posting her photos online since 2000, and has seen the trends. In the last nine years she has made quite a few friends, and has a thousand stories. She can tell you about all the brand managers, event marketers, recruiters and link farms that have contacted her over the years, looking for blog love and trying to imagine new incentives. She can wax poetic about the history of banners and buttons and affiliate marketing – but after nine years of actually doing it, Raymi understands the utilitarian web empowers the user and offers hard rewards. Zucket has lots of energy. She has… Read more »
