"Marketing education will boom.....we received thousands of responses on an open-ended question regarding biggest marketing problems. SMBs are screaming for help managing their newfound media channels. They’ve become suspicious of “trusted advisors” or “marketing consultants” who merely want to sell them broadcast or print advertising with a little digital icing. They’ve also become unsure about the effectiveness of Google keywords and banner advertising. Seminars, webinars and mini conferences on local marketing….are likely to generate bountiful leads.“ - Borrell & Associates
