Social Media is all-powerful in the 21st century! With consumers spending more than half their time, around 51%, in social media, messaging, and media & entertainment apps combined, building an engaged and loyal community is more important than ever before. The Social Track<\/a> is for you.<\/p>\n

6. Turn Advertising Dollars into Conversions with Paid Media<\/span><\/p>\n

You need more than a digital marketing strategy to win the sale! It’s competitive, and those that pay to play are winning big. These Paid Media Workshops<\/a> will help you get the most bang for your buck on Google, Bing, and Facebook.<\/p>\n

7. The Mysteries of SEO Explored and Explained<\/span><\/p>\n

We Are Celebrating Local Search Day and Social Media Day<\/h3>\n

We’ll be celebrating Local Search Day<\/a> for the second time at Rocks Digital and we are doing the day up right! Over half of the presentations are focused on local search and SEO.<\/p>\n

This is our 6th year of celebrating Social Media Day<\/a> on June 30. This date is actually a big factor for each year\u2019s conference. From the very first keynote by presenter Andrea Vahl in year one, all the way up to four keynotes this year, we have come a long way, and Social Media Day is a big part of the celebration.<\/p>\n

We have a rocking time planned and we want to see you there! If you haven’t registered yet, the time to act is now.<\/p>\n
