Digital Influencers Marketing Summit (September 29, SMX Convention Center)

Work with influencers and brand advocates to generate awareness and interest in what you have to offer.

Develop activities and advocacies that will take your brand image to a different level. Let your customers define what your product is for them, take ownership, rather than you dictating what you want it to be.
