Marcus Whitney
Whitney's session, titled "The Social Consumer: Who Are These People and Why Are You Ignoring Them?" will discuss the core challenges businesses must address in order to improve and accelerate activation of their fans, increasing engagement and conversion through both social and distributed commerce channels like Facebook and Twitter.
Murmuration 2012 offers Nashville's business and marketing communities an unprecedented opportunity to connect with social technology leaders like Whitney as they share insights on effectively tracking, measure and monetizing social media.
“Murmuration is bringing the nation’s social technology leaders together in our own back yard,” said Whitney, whose company, Moontoast, was founded in Nashville. “The Franklin Theatre is an amazing venue. We are looking forward to sharing what we’ve learned as well as learning from others.”
As co-founder and CTO of Moontoast, Whitney is tasked with leading his team to create technology that helps affinity brands manage and improve their social web results. The Moontoast platform empowers brands to quickly and easily create and distribute offers across social networks, blogs, and ad networks. Their Social Commerce Analytics Suite provides insights and predictive modeling to help brands grade and improve their social commerce efforts. Current customers include Time/Fortune, Simon and Schuster, Universal, Tretorn, Maxim, and Big Machine Records.
In addition to Whitney, Keynote Panelists from Radian6, Gigya, ExactTarget and Industrial Strength Marketing (ISM) will share the stage at the historic Franklin Theatre to discuss emerging trends in social marketing.
The event, sponsored by Industry Collective, is scheduled for February 8 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the historic Franklin Theatre in downtown Franklin, Tenn.
Murmuration 2012 tickets go on sale here starting January 9, 2012. The Birdbath VIP Social, a limited capacity "after event" at the nearby McConnell House, will provide attendees with food and drink, as well as hands-on demonstrations of the technologies featured at Murmuration.
