The Buddy Media team is very excited to announce our Platinum sponsorship of the Graphing Social Patterns conference in Washington DC from June 9 – 11, 2008.

If anything we’re zealous in our evangelizing of Facebook and all of its possibilities. As part of our commitment to helping the social networking world evolve and grow, we felt it was our duty to take a leadership role at GSP.

Some highlights to look forward to:

• Jeff Ragovin (Vice President of Sales and Business Development) will be leading an introductory tutorial entitled “Viral Marketing and Advertising Strategies for Social Networks.” This workshop will provide an overview of marketing and advertising solutions for popular social networks; including Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and others. Attendees will learn how to create social advertising campaigns, create branded groups, drive brand awareness using social apps & widgets, and reach consumer audiences on social networks & widget platforms. The session runs from 1:30PM – 4:30PM on Monday June 9, 2008.
• Mike Lazerow (Our Fearless Leader and CEO) will lead “Apps & Widgets: The New New Ad Units” which will reveal all of the latest trends around emerging advertising standards for apps & widgets. This session is on Tuesday June 10, 2008 at 9:50 AM. Mike will also participate in a panel discussion entitled “Where Social Gets Down to Business: Advertising vs. App-vertising.” The panel will share their knowledge about using social networks, social advertising, and social applications to reach hundreds of millions of today’s online users.
• No conference is complete without a good old-fashioned cocktail party! All Buddy Media partners and clients are invited to stop by the GSP East VIP bash at 3303 Water Street for drinks and hor d’oeuvres overlooking the monuments in our nation’s capital. (Tuesday June 10, 5:30 – 7:30)
