During the session, Fleck and Ricci will discuss the importance of using interactive social and mobile media in conjunction with other marketing tools to boost business as part of a company’s overall social media marketing plan. The presentation will also focus on using targeted mobile marketing to attract customers and increase an organization’s mobile marketing audience through social media.

Rich Fleck said, "Social and mobile media, such as Facebook and Twitter, continue to grow in popularity among diverse audiences. For many consumers, social and mobile interaction is becoming an increasingly essential part of the daily routine and a critical component of how we communicate today. If companies learn to integrate social media tools with their email marketing programs, there will be less disconnect between marketing functions – making businesses much more unified and effective in how they reach key audiences."

Mike Ricci said, “Utilizing mobile platforms to reach and influence customers is quickly transforming into a must-have requirement in any marketer’s toolkit. It’s proven to be a highly flexible and cost-effective means of attaining and retaining customers, especially in today’s tough Merkle Executives to Speak at eTail West in February 2 economic climate.
