How Do You Measure the Success of Social Media With Moderators: John Bell, Managing Director- Ogilvy PR Worldwide, DC Pierre Wielezynski, Communications Officer-Online Outreach, The World Bank No matter how new the world of social media is, business leaders must know the measurable benefits of getting involved. How can new strategies around blogs, search, wikis, social networks and new Web 2.0 services pay off for the organization? And what is the distinction between these digital strategies and the larger field of word-of-mouth marketing? New and old models for measurement exist .There are measurement models from"simple" web metrics to the Net Promoter Score. A collection of promising monitoring services help collect useful data from the deluge. And can we measure "engagement" vs. impressions? Blog "conversations" can be monitored for share-of-voice, tonality, brand mentions and more. Third party content supportive of your brand or issue can strengthen Google search results. Clever Web 2.0 applications allow you to create new, relevant services for customers and constituents engaging them deeper. And at the end of the day, we need to report success. In this session, you will leave with practical answers for: What are the options for measuring the success of social media initiatives? What's in the works? What are some simple (low cost) things you can do to see what people are saying? What can you do now to benchmark, monitor and report performance of blogs, blog outreach, Web 2.0 applications? How can Word-of-mouth be measured? How can you assess the impact of your social media efforts when trying to influence policy?

MOJO NATION "ALL AGES" SHOW @ IOTA 4/12

Where: IOTA Club & Cafe

Date: 2008-04-12 14:00:00

Type:

Mojo Nation’s brand-new CD “Everybody Loves a Happy Ending” is finally here! Steve Sidley, the multi-instrumentalist/ songwriter/ mastermind behind Mojo Nation, has supported many national and regional acts over the years including Sam’s House, Vertical Horizon, Derryberry & Alagia, Annie Sidley and The True. His latest creation, Mojo Nation, celebrates their debut release with an “all ages” show at the popular venue The IOTA Club and Café. Mojo Nation’s music can be described as indie rock with a defined pop sensibility that also incorporates elements of funk, reggae and hip-hop into a densely layered sound. As a live act, Steve Sidley and Mojo Nation are a dynamic, high energy experience with Steve playing an amazing variety of instruments on stage and rocking major venues, colleges and festivals with eye grabbing and ear catching intensity. With their huge sound and Steve’s emotionally resonant songs they quickly connect with and win over audiences with their musicianship and playful charm (which is no small feat for a band dedicated to its original music in a market becoming increasingly dominated by tribute and cover bands.) Mojo Nation’s new CD “Everybody Loves a Happy Ending” was mixed by longtime friend Doug Derryberry (Dave Matthews, Bruce Hornsby) and will be hitting college and independent radio airwaves across the country on March 31.
