Get Satisfaction Discusses How to Drive More Revenue From Your Social Marketing Strategy at 2012 Pivot Conference

NEW YORK, NY and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 12, 2012) - 2012 PIVOT CONFERENCE - Get Satisfaction today announced CEO Wendy Lea will take part in a panel at the 2012 Pivot Conference on October 15. The panel discussion, titled "Customer Service Is Not Marketing, But It Should Be," provides thought-provoking perspectives on the intersection of social and the customer experience, and how it is shaping a new mode of effective marketing. Lea will also host a workshop at the event on October 16 titled "Drive More Revenue from Your Social Strategy." In the workshop, she will unveil findings from recent consumer research, and their implications for marketers as they develop their social strategies.

Moderated by industry analyst Brian Solis, the panel "Customer Service Is Not Marketing, But It Should Be" delves into the topic of customer service as the "true heart of social," where social customer touch points present new opportunities for shaping the customer experience. Get Satisfaction's Lea will be joined by fellow panelists Frank Eliason from Citibank and Vala Afshar from Enterasys Networks to explore how the lines between inbound and outbound marketing are becoming blurred, resulting in effective conversation that scales a customer-powered marketing effort.

Lea will also host a Pivot Conference workshop on October 16 titled "Drive More Revenue from Your Social Strategy." During the workshop, she will highlight recent research that illustrates how leveraging the second generation of social -- that is, moving beyond simply gathering "Fans," "Followers" and "Friends" to truly getting insight about these people and what motivates them -- can have a major impact on a company's social strategy. Specifically, the research points to key findings around how consumers want to engage with brands when making purchase decisions and four unique market segments that are helping drive this shift to "Social 2.0."

Held October 15-16 in New York City, the 2012 Pivot Conference brings together today's marketing leaders who recognize the game-changing power of the plugged-in social consumer, and provides the ideal platform to demonstrate Get Satisfaction's insight and thought leadership in a hot market.
