Topics

With Patrick’s extensive knowledge of the online marketing and information technology industry there are a wide range of topics he can speak about. Here are past topics that have been requested:

• Experience Management – In the social application world your online presence is much more than just a website. You have to keep track and learn how to manage what people see and feel about your brand on several fronts. Learn how to start building your different channels and how to put yourself in the best light for those around you to learn and respect your industry knowledge.
• Online Video: The Next Frontier – All television is delivered digitally to your house. And just about all news and television programs are saved online for you to watch at your convenience. What this has done is created an amazing amount of channels for you to create and consume media from. This has also dramatically lowered the barrier to entry for every individual and organization. Learn how your organization can create your own online effective video platform to share your company news and showcase your products and services.
• Ain’t Marketing a Niche? (Watch a short video about it) – Online marketing is hard. Real hard. Why? Because it is so easy to do. The period of time between the concept of an idea and the deployment of a online marketing plan is is very small. The only way you are going to capture a bigger audience is to specialize. You don’t want to solve all of the problems for 10000 people. You want to solved all of the problems for 1000. While it sounds easy it can be quite the challenge to implement.
• Building an Online Marketing Empire – Even though you can’t be up talking about your company 24/7 you can put technology in place that can. Learn some of the processes and tools you can put in place to make this happen.
• Social Media 101 -Getting up and running with very basics. Dipping your toe into the social media pool.
• The Power of Networking – You get where you want in life by what you know and who you know. Most people don’t go through the effort of finding more about the people around them. Their wants, hopes, dreams and skills. This is an area that I am very personal and passionate about. For a short humorous video on my rules of networking check out this video.
