Favorite Interactive Marketing Tools

"Favorite Interactive Marketing Tools" is the topic for the January meeting of the Cincinnati AMA Interactive Shared Interest Group on January 11th.

One of our most popular topics, once a year we have a meeting when we go around the around the room and everyone who attends spends five minutes describing their favorite Interactive marketing tool.  What smartphone app, software program, website or web browser extension makes your job as an Interactive marketer a whole lot easier?  Here is your chance to share it with the group and learn about new tools that you might be able to use!  Please come to the meeting ready to talk about 2 tools with the group (one and a spare in case someone else chooses the same tool).

The meeting is on Wednesday January 11th from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm at Office Key Hyde Park in Rookwood Tower (3505 Edwards Road, suite 550).  The meeting is free for American Marketing Association members, $15 for non-members and online registration on the Cincinnati AMA website is required.
