Diary of a Geospatial Marketer: Florida Trip 2018

Hello everyone,

It’s been a busy time here at EBTM, with a recent trip to Florida for the the TUC 2018 conference.

As some of you know I do a weekly VLOG on what EBTM gets up to in the Geospatial Marketing Industry. I am literally two weeks behind on this TopoDOT User Conference (#TUC18) VLOG however thanks to the awesome Hannah Cotterell, my videographer, here are the results!

This is part one of two  videos. I would like to send a BIG thank you to Brett Wood, PSM Florida Department of Transportation for some brilliant ideas for my TUC talk! And P.S. Robert Martin, I’m keeping my eye on you and our content marketing, keep up the good work.

Check out my other VLOGS and get all the latest on book reviews, content marketing tips and the latest on what’s going on in the Geospatial industry here.

A Life as a Geospatial Marketer

 

These videos are not edited – its just a diary…. so warts and all! Especially today..

 


Got my butt down to Geodata in London on Thursday 30th November to mingle with the Geospatial Industry. What a nice wee conference. Loved Martyn’s (from KOREC) presentation “What Next for the Geospatial Industry” and esp on Gartner Hype Cycle and an emphasis on GeoLocation!

 

Todays update is as follows:

  1.  Finished off the article for POB Magazine on the Buyers Journey – a hot topic for me at the moment as 1. its interesting and 2. no one does it! – well apart from my awesome clients, however defiantly a hard subject.
  2. Met the lovely Martin at GetMapping in London and bumped into Paul from 3DUsernet and chatted about the ‘buyers journey’.
    1. The problem we have nowadays is there are on average 6.8 people in the buying cycle that YOU have to deal with! Well… not just deal with but FIND, TALK TO and CONVINCE. Have a read here
  3. Finally… get yourself a copy of Ann Handley’s book on “Everybody Writes” – bloody awesome book. See Amazon

Enjoy peeps… Elaine
