| 2:00 PM | BREAKOUT SESSION (VIEW VIDEO) Conversational Marketing in the Blogosphere It's clear now that the blogosphere has arrived as a media channel in its own right. A majority of consumers are not only reading blog content, but are also actively participating in, and creating content for, the blogosphere. At the same time, the line separating blogs from more traditional digital media is becoming thinner and thinner as each adopts characteristics of the other. What does all of this mean for the marketer? How are brands leveraging the blog space, and what are the most effective strategies for participating? This session will bring together leaders in the blogosphere for a frank discussion on marketing in the blog environment as well as other topics central to conversational media and marketing.
