Tag Archives: happy hour

by Michelle Lentz

Every now and then, something exciting happens here in Cincinnati. This week, our local giant Procter & Gamble brought in the digerati so that P&G could learn more about social media. You may have seen folks hawking Tide t-shirts on Twitter? That was the P&G Digital Hack night.

We weren’t all lucky enough to attend that event, but a lot of folks came out for a happy hour the evening before, sponsored by Cincinnati’s rather wildly successful startup, ShareThis and organized by our Social Media Breakfast team of Daniel Lally, Dave Knox, and Kevin Dugan. The event took place at Bootsy’s, a rather hip restaurant co-produced by Bootsy Collins and local restaurateur Jeff Ruby.

I took photos, but I’m no Brian Solis.   Full event photos can be found on Flickr.

First, a brief blurb about what Search Marketing Salon is:

Search Marketing Salon is a global network of search engine marketers who like to get together online and offline to share success stories and trade insider tips.

If you are obsessed about driving targeted traffic, increasing search engine rankings and maximizing revenue through paid search (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO), or Web 2.0 Marketing (and social SEO) – join us and create a local Search Marketing Salon in your city.

Tomorrow we (myself, Lorna Li, SEMPO, and Enquisite) are going to be hosting a happy hour for search marketing professionals throughout the Bay Area. This is a great chance for you to network and connect with other search marketing professionals in the area. Heck even if you’re not a search engine marketer you should show up to meet some smart folks!

Our group has grown to over 3,500 members from around the world and we have some of the best marketers on the planet as members.

Here are the details:

When: Wednesday October 15, 2008 7:00pm

Where: Thirsty Bear @ 661 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94105

Light appetizers are going to be provided and the first two drinks are complementary thanks to Enquisite, which is a provider of a really kick ass analytics tool. Now if that’s not an incentive to come then I don’t know what is!

Please RSVP here if you wish to attend.

I’d love to meet all of you so if you attend the event make sure you come say hi to me, just walk around and ask people for “Jacob,” they’ll point you in the right direction.

This event is organized by SEMPO and Search Marketing Salon, and sponsored by Enquisite.

Hope to see you there!
