Does Your Strategy Suffer Because Of Your Tactics?

David Rollo like to think before he jumps. Or posts.

Rollo, SVP and Director of Digital and Social Media for Atlanta’s 22squared, see lots of benefits from strategic planning in social and other digital media, and on April 28, he'll share his thoughts with AAF-Knoxville at our monthly luncheon.

"Tactics, Tactics, Tactics: Where Has the Strategy Gone?" will examine the enthusiasm for new types of online content, and look at how companies can get too absorbed in the daily implementation to take full advantage of new media options. He'll then show how sound strategy can enhance communications--and ultimately, save work, money, and headaches.
Rollo started in the buisness as New Product Marketing Manager for the Canadian division of Apple Computers. He then quickly showed his expertise in the digital world by increasing online store sales and site traffic for Home Depot and enriching the interactive user experience for Delta Airlines before joining 22squared in May 2008.
He has worked with brands like UPS, Earthlink, Sabre Travel Systems, Coca-Cola, Durex, and Beazer Homes, and he'll share with us what works - and, more importantly, what doesn't - in the digital realm.

Mad Men Mob Magnificently

This month's AAF Flash Mob on Thursday, April 14, changes things up with a new venue--The Crown and Goose in the Old City--and keeps what everyone loves about these informal events: The chances to meet up with some of the finest advertising minds in the area and enjoy networking, idea exchange, and fun in a relaxed environment.
It all starts around 4:30. You can be true to the nature of a flash mob, if you like. Breeze in, dance or pillow fight, and leave. Or feel free to stay as long as you like.
You'll meet good people, and you'll have a good time. See you there.
