SMX London 2008 Compilation

Last week I had the pleasure to join the SMX event in London. Both days were filled with great content and tips, but the best part about it was Networking, I’ve got to meet so many fascinating and engaging people! 

During the week I’ve managed to gather a list of resources and summaries made by them for you to enjoy. I will be posting my notes in Spanish later during the week.

Ad:tech 2008 London

This year the Ad:tech was all about saving money on your online campaigns. The sales pitch: “It’s all about surviving the credit crunch”. Given that in the UK Online Ad spend remains on a rise and companies are still spending more money in online advertising, the place was packed with PPC Campaign Management Software solutions and other related products.

What really impressed me was the fresh new look of Microsoft advertising. Good to see they are finally investing on their marketing products. I really think they do have some great products out there but they just don’t know how add value to them.

Google University was back with their usual programs - Google Analytics and Website Optimiser, Google Basics and Google Master Class which remain largely unchanged, from previous sessions. The usual account managers were around to help us out with any questions regarding our accounts.

In short, the exhibition was quite good much better that what expected considering the rough times the marketing industry currently faces. You can see some photos of the event here.

Off to the Internet World 2008

Once again this year, I am attending the Internet World at Earls Court London. Although last years exhibition did not have the best reviews, I still think that if you manage to look beyond some of the sales pitch you will be able to find some very useful conferences worth listening to. I am specially looking forward to BBC’s Kym Niblock regarding the “Commercialising of Content Propositions” and “Network Entry Point Expansion” by Dan Cohen of MSN.

London will be once again invaded by the loads of Irish residents most of them coming from Google, Double Click and MSN. Hopefully I will be seeing lots of familiar faces in the venue and at the nearby pubs!
