Geo-Marketing  (also known as Geo-Local, and Geo-Social) is becoming the hot topic of of the online/mobile/search/social media worlds.  Rightly so, it’s the next big thing.  How big, you say?  Look who is jumping into the pool:

• Local.com went public Oct. 2009 raising millions then acquiring 30,000 hosting companies
• Apple buys Quattro mobile ad-network 2009 Q4
• Google acquires AdMob mobile ad network 2009
• Google attempts to acquire Yelp for $500 million but fails: 2009 Q4
• Wall Street is backing other companies in the local services as well — Supermedia, ATT Yellow Pages, etc.

We have talked in a previous blog post about the impending tsunami of mobile marketing and Geo-Marketing.  With the smart-phone market exploding, GPS apps on the rise, and location-based sites like Gowalla and Brightkite gaining traction daily, this is a marketing phenomenon that can’t be ignored.  Is your company ready to ride this wave?  Is  your company Geo-Social ready?

Please join me for a webinar to find out what the new breed of Geolocation-enabled services and applications is doing for brands, for businesses and for consumers, and how your company can be a part of it.

In this webinar we will discuss the benefits and components of Geo-Marketing, including Geo-Listings on local sites like Yelp, Google Places, the upcoming trends in Mobile Marketing and Geo-Social Marketing and how each should be a part of your marketing plan.
