Dean Westervelt, Vice President, Strategy and Analytics Presented "Social CRM: Myths and Realities" at Annual Online Global Event
Online, June 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Metrics Marketing Group, an analytics-driven database marketing and interactive services firm, was selected to present at BrightTALK's Social Media Marketing Summit, an annual online global summit featuring interactive webcasts from marketing experts around the world. Dean Westervelt, Vice President of Strategy and Analytics, presented a webcast on "Social CRM: Myths and Realities" where he unveiled Social Customer Relationship Management (sCRM) best practices and his predictions for the future of sCRM.
This year's Social Media Marketing Summit featured various interactive webcasts by social media leaders from around the world, including, Guy Kawasaki, Co-Founder of Alltop.com, Petra Neiger, Senior Manager Social Media Marketing at Cisco and many more. Each presenter shared best practices for social media community involvement, online branding techniques and strategies for integrating social media into current marketing strategies. Westervelt was selected by BrightTALK to present on sCRM - an emerging concept transforming communication from a one-way monologue to a two-way dialog between companies and their customers.
Westervelt's webcast "Social CRM: Myths and Realities" identified the fundamental integration of strategy, technology and data as key components to produce sCRM targeted communication results and consumer analytics. Westervelt explains sCRM as being "an extension and a cultural shift in the way companies interact 1:1 with their customers." He advised listeners to recognize customers as a fundamental part of the marketing mix on the social web in order to develop a comprehensive sCRM strategy.
Westervelt has more than 12 years in database marketing analytics and strategic consulting with a particular focus on social media marketing analytics and strategy. His work on synthesizing traditional marketing measurement with digital and social media metrics has made him particularly acquainted with concepts like sCRM.
