The Goodness of .CA and meshwest

By mesh news, meshwest

If you want to feel the warm tingles of being a proud Canadian in a digital world, you need only watch the .CA Impact Awards video.  I guarantee you will feel the urge to create something with a .CA on the end of it just so you too can be part of this legacy!

The 2012 .CA Impact Awards open for entries January 9, 2012.  They are looking for people and organizations that use .CA sites to truly make a difference in the lives of their users and those around them.

There are four categories you can enter:

Public Sector and Not-for-Profit, eLearning, Small Business and Applications (including gaming and mobile).

The honest truth of it all is that, mesh couldn’t be mesh, without great partners like CIRA, the member-driven organization that manages Canada’s .CA domain name registry.  It is a pretty cool thing when two entities like mesh and CIRA can come together to promote the same Canadian conversation around what is happening online.

It has been so exciting taking mesh to Western Canada.  We’ve already touched down in Calgary and Edmonton, and on Dec. 5, we will be in your backyard Vancouver!

CIRA, in their on-going support of mesh and in celebration of the.CA Impact Awards, is sponsoring a special block of tickets that are being sold at $249. Since it is 55 days to their entry deadline, from the release date of this block, there are 55 tickets available (or there were when I first stated writing this post- so don’t delay in buying quickly!).

I know the folks at CIRA hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to participate in Canada’s Internet conversation through mesh and the .CA Impact Awards.

It is our hope that you will join us in Vancouver on Dec. 5 to connect, share and inspire.

Now go watch that video again – I swear, it gets me every time!

To purchase tickets for meshwest, you can purchase tickets here. Our speakers include Stewart Butterfield, Zite’s Mark Johnson, Janice Diner and Erik Blachford.

meshing with SMG!

By meshmarketing

Things are about to get a little mesh-y this week, and over at SMG we’re really excited about it!

SMG is proud to sponsor and be a part of meshmarketing, intermingling with some of the brightest minds in the industry and sharing some of our know-how along the way. What have we learned this year? First, that listening really pays off, especially online.

As a member of the meshmarketing panel: social media beyond monitoring , SMG’s Patrick Gladney, Director and Group Head – Research and Insights, will guide you through social media monitoring and what to do once you know what’s being said about you online.

What else have we learned?

That partnering with a top traditional media monitoring service not only adds value but allows for us to offer clients a complete multi-channel monitoring service.

That’s why we are so excited to announce our new partnership with Canada’s leading media monitoring service FPInfomart, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.

What can our clients expect from this new venture? A complete holistic view of the communications landscape that is unmatched in the marketplace, enabling them to understand and act upon what’s being said in any channel.

Want to learn more? Visit www.socialmediagroup.com or call us at 416.703.3764

We look forward to seeing you at the conference, catching up and hearing all about what you’ve been learning too.

meshmarketing: A Preview

By meshmarketing

Months in the planning, meshmarketing is happening tomorrow at the Allstream Centre.

This is the third meshmarketing, which was started after people who attended the marketing stream at mesh asked for more in-depth and tactical sessions. They wanted to hear from speakers who could provide them with tangible and action-able insight and information to do their jobs better or differently.

With speakers coming from across North America, we have put together a line-up with expertise in digital marketing, content marketing, social media, mobile, data and influence discovery.

meshmarketing kicks off with a morning of thought-provoking discussions that features Stuart MacDonald in conversation with WestJet’s Greg Hounslow about the importance of community, while Mark Evans will sit down with IdeaPaint’s Marcus Wilson and Marcus Sheridan (aka The Sales Lion) about the growing focus and value of content marketing.

After lunch, Klout.com’s Joe Fernandez will provide some insight into why influence and influencers have become such an intriguing, interesting and controversial part of the digital and social media marketing landscapes. Anyone who has a Klout score, particularly those who their scores drop recently after Klout adjusted its methodologies, will no doubt be interested in learning more about the influence world by Fernandez, whose company finds itself within the eye of the hurricane.

Then, meshmarketing gets down and dirty with eight interactive and hands-on sessions and workshops that will provide people with what they need and want to change how they do business. It’s a chance to hear from not only experts but people in the trenches about what’s happening, what’s over the horizon and what businesses need to do and think to stay competition amid an ever-changing landscape.

Unlike other digital marketing conferences that focus on big picture/big thought issues, meshmarketing has been created for people who do digital marketing but looking for new approaches, tools, techniques and ideas on how to do it better, smarter, faster or more successfully. As well, a key part of coming to meshmarketing is being able to network and connect with not only people within your industry but people who work in other sectors who can offer a new or different perspective.

Tickets for meshmarketing are still on sale. Here’s where you can check out the schedule and the speaker line-up.
