Karyn Fleeting, MD of Tinderbox Media, has been invited to speak at a UK web conference.
The one day event, ThinkVisibility, takes place at the Alea Casino in Leeds on Saturday 12 September, 2009. Attendees are coming from as far away as mainland Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Harrogate-based Tinderbox Media has developed a reputation for digital PR campaigns and business blogs that create buzz, generate positive media coverage and attract new business enquiries. Her Suited and Booted Guide to Corporate Blogging will explore the ways in which blogs can boost companies’ profiles and bottom lines.
Aimed at business leaders, web professionals and marketing specialists, ThinkVisibility’s talks and seminars will focus upon “the things that get left out of the web design process”. Talks and seminars will explore the latest developments in social media, usability, web analytics, making money online, search engine optimisation (SEO) and online PR.
Karyn joins a lineup that includes high-profile speakers from further afield. Artur Ortega, a blind computer scientist , is the “accessibility evangelist” for Yahoo! Europe and is to examine the links between accessibility and innovation. Joost de Valk, a respected authority on blogging and blog optimisation, will be flying in from the Netherlands to reveal his blog SEO strategies. Julian Sambles, the Head of Audience Development for Telegraph Media Group, is to discuss his work embedding digital activity at the heart of the media group’s business model.
This will be ThinkVisibility’s second outing, following a successful debut earlier this year. The first ThinkVisibility event took place in Leeds in March. It was sold out within two weeks of tickets going on sale, was liveblogged by attendees and became a top “trending topic” on Twitter.
The conference has been organised by Yorkshire SEO consultancy Hodgetastic. MD Dom Hodgson said: “We have doubled our capacity, as many would-be attendees were left disappointed last time round. There is something here for everyone: our speaker list includes industry ‘rock stars’, and talks will run alongside Q&A panels and real-life case studies.”
“With consumers turning to the internet for their products and services, website owners are increasingly eager to invest in good web design and search-friendly techniques that will benefit their businesses in the long-term.”
Tickets cost £99 each and can be purchased at www.thinkvisibility.com.
