This month's focus is SOCIAL MEDIA AND ROI with:

Maggie Fox, Founder, CEO and Chief Marketing Officer, Social Media Group @maggiefox

How do you turn a like into a lead? Social Media ROI is surprisingly easy to track - if you craft well-designed, integrated campaigns that involve social from the start, not as an afterthought. Using a real-world client case study, Maggie will explain how to turn a "like" into "lead" through carefully crafted social channel building and conversion programs.

David Jones, VP, Strategy-Social at Critical Mass @DoctorJones

Social media isn't cheap or fair.  Facebook doesn't care if your page followers see your stuff.  Twitter's job isn't to help you get followed and retweeted.  Using real data, David's talk will explain how success in social requires  the cross-discipline choreography of audience insights, shareable content, relevant conversation and paid amplification.

Mathew Stern, VP Brand and Business Strategy, Jumpwire Media @Matthew_Stern

The online curse for most media companies has been trading analogue dollars for digital pennies.  But the equation is wrong.  It’s not about digital revenue from digital audiences; it’s about cultivating digital audiences for an old-school business model: traditional ratings.  Matthew will share examples of how social media has driven ratings for multiple clients.
