Ian Lurie, Founder and CEO of Portent will discuss: Marketing Strategy!
Sponsored By:
Event Details:
Search marketing is still a great industry, but churn rates are high and client satisfaction tends to erode over time. Why? Because we're one-trick ponies. Portent CEO Ian Lurie will explain what he sees as the biggest problems in search & social today, and how we can get beyond them.
You'll learn:
•The problem with client/agency relationships
•The solution
•Ian's solution for strategic planning
•How to tie tactics to strategy in a real, measurable way
•How to sell a strategic approach
About Ian: Ian's professional specialties and favorite topics are marketing strategy, history, search and all things nerdy. But after 20 years in the business he can go on for hours, so be careful when you ask him questions at parties. He writes and speaks everywhere he can. He's a bit of an addict, really.
His random educational background includes a B.A. in History from UC San Diego and a degree in Law from UCLA. Along the way, he's been a very amateur competitive cyclist, a bike messenger, a roof consultant, a technical writer and an Adobe FrameMaker consultant. You may find him teaching his kids to play Dungeons and Dragons on the weekends, or dragging his tongue on the ground as he pedals his way up Seattle's ridiculously steep hills.
