BELTSVILLE, Md., April 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWeb -- Vocus, Inc. (Nasdaq:VOCS), a leading marketing cloud provider, announced today a special online event on May 16 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) with the marketing industry's leading inspirational and strategic voice, Seth Godin. "No Secrets, No Shortcuts" focuses on how marketers can build sustainable winning strategies in the connection economy. The webinar will be open to general public and free of charge.
According to New York Times Bestselling Author Seth Godin, the connection economy does not respond well to industrialized, scalable or impersonal approaches. You might be able to fake it for a while, but real success comes from somewhere else.
Godin will use stories, examples and your own dreams to help you see an achievable series of next steps: a way to thrive, instead of fighting to maintain the status quo. Attendees will learn how to:
- Figure out what it means to connect
- Understand the power of permission, generosity and bravery
- Know what to tell your boss along the way
"We are fortunate to have Seth join us on May 16," said You Mon Tsang, senior vice president of products at Vocus. "He has consistently moved the marketing sector to the next level. With new technology creating incredible opportunities to connect with potential customers in a wide variety of ways, understanding the fundamentals of human connection, including permission, should be at the forefront of every communicator's mind."
Sign up for Godin's "No Secrets, No Shortcuts" webinar today.
