Featured Speaker
The Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing
Association (http://www.dfwsem.org) will welcome
guest speaker Jack Dearnbarger to their new meeting
location, The Grand Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
Dearnbarger is the Senior Director of Account
Services for the Dallas-based creative agency
Blockdot (http://www.blockdot.com)
where he oversees online branding campaigns using
Advergaming and other branded entertainment
strategies. Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine
Marketing Association (DFWSEM) members and guests
alike are invited to hear Dearnbarger speak about
how businesses can create a “buzz” online while
gaining links by using various viral marketing
strategies.
In Dearnbarger’s experiences with Advergaming,
branded online games usually seen on corporate
websites, viral marketing practices can benefit a
business or website on many levels. They can create
a “buzz” surrounding a brand or website and as a
result, increase the amount of links directed to a
particular site. This can provide a great boost to
any search engine marketing campaign or the search
engine rankings for a particular website. Search
engine marketers are invited to hear more about
Dearnbarger’s unique experiences with interactive
marketing and how they can enhance a search engine
marketing campaign.
