I had the opportunity to attend the Online Marketing Summit in New York last Friday. If you’re not familiar with OMS, it’s an online marketing tour that ” …offers its attendees the opportunity to learn actionable best practices, strategies and tactics from leading authors, academics, brand marketers and online pioneers.” The sessions were led by some very influential speakers including Maria Pergolino, Director of Marketing at Marketo, Jeanne Hopkins, Director of Marketing at HubSpot, and Dylan Boyd, VP of Sales & Strategy at  eROI. The sessions covered a wide range of online marketing topics like social media, search, email, demand generation, analytics, usability, and integrated marketing.
