Search Engine Marketing Professionals of Portland (SEMpdx) has announced our next panel presentation and educational seminar taking place on Tuesday evening, September 14, 2010 at the Hotel deLuxe in historic downtown Portland, Oregon. This highly interactive event will feature professional insight into how to effectively integrate social media activities with an effective Search Engine Marketing engagement.
The digital marketing research firm, eMarketer, forecast in an article today that social network advertising in the United States will reach $1.7 billion by the end of 2010. This impressive domestic spending on social media advertising is projected to represent 6.7% of total online advertising in 2010.
In an August 10, 2010 article by eMarketer titled ‘Focusing on Analytics and Accountability’, the digital marketing research firm reported that when it comes to justifying the expense of marketing campaigns, most professional marketers recognize the importance of accessing measurable results through analytical tools. However, as I read this article, the insightful nugget that glittered in my eye was the following paragraph that was ostensibly added at the end as a throw-away paragraph:
Much of this effort is directed toward justifying marketing programs, but the marketers surveyed often lacked an effective way of communicating the success—or otherwise—of their campaigns to other executives. While three-quarters of marketers begin initiatives with clear goals set out, only 56% have a system for letting company executives know how the campaign fared.
Join us for an evening of networking with the cool kids . . . and a chance to win an EngineWorks t-shirt!

Our international cycling team, Team EngineWorks, just finished participating in the L’Étape du Tour event during the 2010 Tour de France road bike race in Pau, France on July 18, 2010.
