Greg Verdino: OMMA gets social and I'll be there.

This is just a quick post to let you know that I will be a panelist at the upcoming OMMA Social conference. I will join moderator Joe Marchese (founder and president of Socialvibe) and MRM Worldwide's Augustine Fou in a discussion about Putting Social Media in the Marketing Mix. The topic description goes something like this:

"For most marketers, social media represents the latest new ingredient to a marketing mix whose recipe gets more complicated all the time. While it’s all the rage, is social media a must-have for all marketers? If not, what categories and brands is it particularly appropriate for and how should they use it? Also discussed: using social media to listen to consumers."

It goes down at 11:30am on June 23rd in New York City's Yale Club. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I have to wear a striped tie and loafers. And I'm hoping I'll see some of you there. Let me know if you plan to attend.
