SMCakl 7 - Analytics Tools & Tactics - #EpicWin

Social Media Club Auckland NZ #SMCakl Social Media New Zealand SMC akl

Social Media Club Auckland (SMCakl 7) was a super-success or in the clipped, hashtagged vocab of the twitterati, was an #EpicWin !!!

Held on Tue 10-Aug-10 at the uber-CBD bar, Bluestone Room, the topic for the night was a hot one: SM Analytics - Tools & Tactics.

As expected, the evening was chocker with talent on both sides of the podium. While we had some informative talks from the speakers, it was also a very interactive (aka social) evening with lots of questions from the audience, which our distinguished panel fielded with ease.

Giapo & Jayson - NZ's very own 'SM for SMEs' success stories - were there!

Highlights of the evening:

• Insightful presentations loaded with facts & figures, graphs & graphics by the speakers
• Crowd favourites Giapo & Jayson Bryant almost stole the show when they strode onstage
• An endless supply of Whittakers Chocolates on every table
• Generous snack platters with compliments from the bar
• Prizes handed out for every Q in the Q&A. Robyn Ellson of Bullet PR took home the top one!

Justin Flitter, host, co-organiser and speaker on the night blogged about the event providing comprehensive coverage - complete with speaker bios, downloadable presentations and live links. You can read all about what happened on the night here.
