It’s not just a sexy headline, we’re going to debate this six ways from Sunday.
Look, most will agree that branding is important, sure! But how important?! How much preliminary branding effort is too much? At what point does that focus on positioning and messaging become excessive and a waste of resources? Is building a brand at odds with the lean startup methodology? And where does branding end and content marketing begin?
Join us for a long-overdue debate featuring a diverse panel of established marketing pros as well as some of the areas newest and hottest agencies. Get ready for a no holds barred discussion moderated by San Diego’s signature straight-shooter Steven Picanza.

Dave Korenik, CEO and Founder, Magnetic Creative
@magn3tic
@davekorinek
Dave has always colored outside the lines and has been pushing the limits of brand strategy and creative since graduating from SDSU in 1996. For him, it’s imperative that we strive to humanize brands by giving them a soul and then find ways to connect and engage with consumers in an authentic way. Leading the charge in consumer-based relationship marketing, he’s helped many a company discover their “True North” which he believes is mission critical for any brand to find their way and differentiate themselves. It’s led Magnetic Creative to award-winning and industry-defining campaigns for brands like VIZIO TV, Pieology, Belkin, Lifeproof, FUGOO, Drew Brees, Sunkist, Life Technologies, Left Coast Brewing, Jenny Craig, ESPN, Gateway, MLB, DIRECTV, Qualcomm, TaylorMade Golf, Tim McGraw, John Mayer.
After leadership roles at several notable design and interactive agencies in Southern California, as well as working with in-house marketing teams at Qualcomm and VIZIO, Dave founded Magnetic Creative in 2006. Fast forward 10 years, the agency employs 50+ employees and has offices in Southern California, Los Angeles and South Africa. An idea guy through and through, Dave pushes Magnetic’s clients and team everyday to think strategically, connect authentically and create something meaningful.

Lindsay Dayton LaShell finished college and entered the workforce at the peak of the first dot-com bubble, affording her the opportunity to learn from historical business failures and successes.

In 2015 she established Diamond + Branch Marketing Group, a digital marketing agency with a keen focus on strategy, content and analysis. Lindsay is passionate about audience-focused strategy and measurable results, and she is currently exploring ways to promote practical workplace feminism in the marketing industry.

Is anyone else sick of being told the key to SEO is to "Create Great Content" ?!?!
Marketers know it's true but simply saying "create great content" or "10x content" gives us little insight and direction as to what it really means to create "great" content - particularly as it pertains to a search engine's perspective. But here's a big clue: TOPIC MODELING
Join on us on 7/27 as presenter Nicholas Slettengren of Power Digital Marketing schools us on what it really means to create killer content and how leveraging the concept of topic modeling can give search marketers a serious leg up on the competition.
During Nick's presentation, you'll learn:
• What is Topic Modeling and why is it critical to modern SEO success
• How Search Engines evolved to this point
• How to identify real gaps in content that can make a huge difference in rankings
• What it means to truly and completely cover a topic
• The role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in today's search algorithms

Frank Cowell on what Gold Mining can teach us about Systematically Generating Leads and Clients:
There's lots of talk about inbound lead generation through marketing automation these days. There's some really cool stuff happening, but the problem is that we're getting very distracted by all of the "shiny objects" at our disposal. As a result, there's a lot of jumping around from tactic to tactic with little to show for it.
Join Internet marketing veteran, Frank Cowell, as he shares what a reality TV show about gold mining taught him about how to systematically generate leads and customer opportunities, and curing "shiny object syndrome" once and for all. Frank will be teaching you the seven stages of setting up, operating, and growing a lead generation program that consistently produces results.
