HOW TO ATTRACT AND CONVERT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT.

Time and time again MeMedia hear that another Brisbane, Gold Coast or even Sydney company has been miss-treated by yet another SEO Agency and we’re quite annoyed.

This is 2015 and there is no room for “SEO cowboys” who think that by peddling outdated, dodgy, “Blackhat SEO” tactics they are going to; 1. Make their clients see results quickly, 2. Keep their clients happy long term and 3. Avoid long-term penalty from Google.

Learn what is really needed to get your business humming online, with out the pitch or hard sell. Just awesome information that you can implement into your business straight away.

MeMedia have partnered with the National College of Business to deliver regular events which are of enoumous value to any business owner or manager seeking to improve their sales.

CREEK TO CREEK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, NAVIGATING THE MAZE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media has been part of many of our lives for the past 10 years, however its use for business is still underutilized. There still remains a disconnection between companies, their websites and the integration of social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. With the advent of newer social platforms like Google Plus, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest taking the stage, it’s more important than ever to develop an understanding of how each of these channels may benefit your company’s marketing strategy.

So please come along and join us and speaker Chris Hogan, Founder and CEO of MeMedia.  Chris has been a digital evangelist since 1998, working with companies to first develop their understanding of marketing opportunities and then developing and implementing marketing strategies, which is Chris’ passion. Chris is a charismatic but humble public speaker on online marketing and ecommerce topics and very much looks forward to helping your business improve their understanding of this ever-changing landscape of social media.
