Future dates & discount offers

Another reason to sign up for this blog: future events.  We are already at work planning the September 2013 Agenda.  You don’t want to miss the next “Rogue Wave” deeply discounted pricing offers when they are announced.

No rain

We look forward to seeing you at 7 AM breakfast at this beautiful harborside location, Danversport Yacht Club.  Wish for warm sun, so we can enjoy networking on the beautiful landscaped patio and garden grounds.  Oh, the indoor facilities are quite nice, but the outdoors…wow!

Repeat after me: No rain!

Cheers,

~Ed

Future plans

17 Sep

Thanks, everyone, for another successful 2012!  Judging from the the pre- and post- event kudos on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and beyond, a stimulating experience was had by all.  Use hashtag #nxns to find related commentary and add your own.  Special thanks to John Thompson of Comcast Business Class, our Lead Sponsor, for the huge tailwind.

Archived Presentations

As promised, you can access the 2012 presentations here.  Requires a (free) Dropbox.com account.

Archived Agenda

Here is the Agenda page for September 12, with more handy links to speaker biographies, action photos, previous event archives and more.

Future Plans

We are busily planning more events on the North Shore and environs.  Already a number of expert speakers and new partners have been identified and the Agenda will be updated as things get firmed up.

As before, special “Rogue Wave” (early, discounted) tickets are already on sale in limited quantities.   Limit: 2 tickets per purchase transaction.  Prices will rise after they go, or the deadline expires – whichever happens first.

If you are, or know of, either a dynamic, experienced speaker or a North Shore digital “success story”,  use the handy links in the sidebar menu to get involved.

Thanks and we look forward to helping you succeed in 2013!

Digital Success Stories – Are You One?

31 Aug

Do you have a great digital media success story to tell?  Have you used a social or mobile channel (Blog, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, mobile app/website, event, Pinterest, FourSquare, other)  to boost results for yourself or an organization?

If so, we’d love to give you a “cameo appearance” at North by North Shore.  Maybe you’ll even be chosen for a one-hour focus session, if you like. Either way, you’ll enjoy great publicity for your success in front of a live audience, and thousands more of our followers – and maybe generate even more lift for your already stellar results!

Just tell your story here  – or click the “Tell a Success Story” link in the sidebar on any page of this site – and get your story the daylight it deserves.

For best results, come to the next North by North Shore event (check ticket availability here) and get the chance to swap learning with colleagues, get a live shout-out, do a little live Q&A, maybe a photo-op, and of course bask in the glow of your newfound fame.  Not that it matters…right?

Who’s Doing It?

Here are a couple of recent submissions – North Shore business success stories recently highlighted at NXNS in September 2012:

Ideas for You

Here are some ideas on how to organize your success story:

  • Before and after (what changed)
  • Lessons Learned
  • Goals attained

Choose any Format

How you format your story is up to you.  A couple of Powerpoint slides would be great, because you can include images and business logo elements exactly as you’d like them to appear on the big screen at North by North Shore.  You can include photos, video, slides or just send a narrative.   Just click the link and follow the form.

We look forward to helping you succeed!

Cheers,

~Ed and David

Boston’s North Shore on fire, socially speaking

20 Aug

Many North Shore businesses have successful social media efforts underway, building social capital (relationships and influence) as a part of building sales, reputation and revenue.

Who are they?  What works for them?   Find out!  Join us at the next “North by North Shore” digital media, marketing & sales event at Danversport Yacht Club.  For ticket info, click the orange EventBrite button on this site (right sidebar, top of page).


Here is just a taste of what’s happened at recent events:

  • a cleaning company whose YouTube channel has helped build loyalty, goodwill and publicity, making it easier to attract referrals and keep clients.
  • a bicycle shop whose mobile and social efforts include supporting community events, resulting in improved public image, greater brand recognition, and a loyal following among bicyclist community insiders.
  • A bank whose Facebook channel has boosted customer loyalty while helping to raise funds for a charitable cause.
  • An online retailer who, by marketing almost exclusively online, has built a profitable niche clothing business.
  • A non-profit organization whose social community has boosted fund-raising and program publicity effectiveness.
  • …PLUS restauranteurs, professional services firms, educational institutions, professional associations and much more – all mingling under one roof, on one morning!

What else will you find at North by North Shore?

  • Expert review and critique (what works, what doesn’t) of a number of North Shore business’ social web efforts.
  • Like-minded business people who are learning and leveraging lessons from the North by North Shore event series to build their business.
  • Strategic and tactical experts on Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn, mobile, email, blogging, SEO, CRM …

… and much more.

Tickets limited (yikes); time too (double yikes)

As in previous events, we will cap attendance to keep participation and comfort high.  Once we sell out, that’s it, so don’t miss out!  We often get repeat sign-ups from past events  – a good sign – but that, too, limits the number of publicly available tickets. Upshot: hurry!

What’s included

Ticket holders receive a full breakfast at 7 AM, keynote speaker at 7:30 AM, attendance at any two of six breakout sessions from 8 to 10 AM, seating at the 10 AM expert panel joint session, and all session materials (print, online and/or video version).

Use the handy orange EventBrite ticket site link on this site to jump on this unique, acclaimed event opportunity today.  Pass it on!

You may also wish to click the “Keep me in the Loop!” link on this site to stay informed and chat with your colleages as the event draws near.   Our Agendas Page has more details, too!

We look forward to seeing you at the beautiful Danversport Yacht club next month.

Cheers,

Ed
