Seattle, unlike New York and Chicago, is not widely known for its advertising and marketing clusters. With the growth of its small businesses and entrepreneurship culture, the scene is changing, and the city is ideal for the premier social media event, SocialPro 2016, which will take place on June 20-21 at the Bell Harbor Convention Center.
Developed by Marketing Land, SocialPro is the brainchild of the site’s founding editor Danny Sullivan, who is a well-respected thought leader in the digital marketing and search marketing community. The conference series is designed from the ground up by Marketing Land’s editorial team and focuses on the real-world challenges marketers face on a daily basis. It provides fresh, actionable, and tried-and-true social media marketing strategies to conference attendees, who can apply what they’ve learned directly to their work.

Speaking at this year’s conference are over 40 social media marketing experts from established digital agencies, big brands, and leading social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Wei Kuan Lum, Facebook’s Head of SMB Marketing, will be this year’s keynote speaker. She will talk about Facebook’s innovations and how businesses can leverage the power of the social network’s ad targeting solutions. Additionally, senior executives from Pinterest and Twitter will share best practices on how to make the most of marketing on their platforms.
The panel sessions at SocialPro will cover a wide variety of social media marketing strategies, from real-time campaigns to follower engagement and KPI analytics. Marketing executives from top brands such as Microsoft, Docusign, and Pabst Brewing Co. will provide insights on how brands can best manage the social media game. The evening event will offer a group discussion on powerful women leaders in the digital advertising industry, featuring Sarah Bird, the CEO of leading SEO marketing and analytics software Moz.
For startups that don’t have ample marketing budgets, utilizing social media is an effective way to engage target audiences and cultivate business leads at a cost-effective level. SocialPro is also a great networking opportunity for Seattle-based startup founders and small business owners.
