Bill Balderaz is a Social Media PR Rock Star

Bill Balderaz, President of Webbed Marketing, is a Social Media rock star! I sat in on his session at PodCampOhio, Strategies for blogging, podcasting and social network marketing — and even tried to stream it via Qik but only got seconds of it!  You should check out his session if at all possible — I don’t know who else recorded it — I only got one minute :(:

Here are the session notes:

Wait a minute.

There is a form marketing that involves consumers creating videos, podcasts and blog posts about your brand and distributing that content freely? And they don’t have to go through rounds of lawyers, executives and brand police when they are creating this content? And they do it without getting paid, on their own time and show genuine passion and interest in doing so?

And these programs enhance my search engine optimization, pay-per-click, online public relations and traditional marketing campaigns?

To top it all off, this form marketing is viewed as credible by consumers and has a measurable impact on my business?

Sign me up.

Social Media Marketing…working with consumers to create and distribute content about your brand is a powerful tool that smart marketers can’t ignore. In this session attendees will learn:

How to build and execute a great social media campaign

How blogging, and working with bloggers, can help a marketing program “go viral”

The role podcasts and video play in online marketing campaigns
