We had an amazing turnout for our Chicago Marketing Success Seminar at City Winery — 219 participants! The panel included:
- Barry Moltz, radio host, entrepreneur and author
- Faith Murphy, Director of Channel Management and Small Business Sales at Yahoo
- Ben Tyson, Senior Partner Trainer of Channel Sales Partnerships at Google
- Christopher Folmar, Director of CRM & SAAS Products at Dex Media
- Sima Dahl, branding champion
- Daliah Saper, Intellectual Property, Social Media and Business Attorney at Saper Law
- Howard Tullman, CEO of 1871
Rather than telling you myself about top tips from Chicago, like I did for our Baltimore and Dallas events, I thought I’d let our small business participants’ tweets provide the info (with one tweet from us as well)! Check out the tidbits below!
What an incredibly powerful talk by Howard @Tullman. We live in an age where access is more important than assets. #dexmedia
