I am very happy and proud to announce that next week we will be doing something very special. We are starting a guestpost series with writers from all around the globe, from different backgrounds, will be writing about one subject: ‘integration of marketing channels’.
We have reached the point in which we need to be talking about integration of all different channels, being it search, affiliate or something else. Just one channel won’t do it anymore. But how can we connect all these channels?
To find that out we have gathered people from different backgrounds to give their view on what integration should be. That means people in search, in social, in e-mail, affiliate marketing and other areas are joining in to create what will be the best file on integration on the web. And stay tuned, because at the end of the series we will have yet another surprise for you…
But you must be wondering who will be joining us? Let me give you a first preview, there are more to come, but here are a few you can expect this coming weeks:
