10:00 am–10:05 am Short Break to Change Rooms
10:05 am–10:30 am Room 1: Generating Quality Internet Traffic
by Anders Östlund, Ticket 2


There are numerous ways to generate traffic to your website. The question is whether you should carpet bomb, use missiles, or launch surgical robots. The more resources you have, the easier it is to end up with a carpet-bombing strategy, spending a lot on useless hits. The surgical approach will cost you more to set up but will generate superior traffic. The more information you get from Internet users, the smarter you can spend your money. When users end up at your website as a result of their own questions, they are more likely to act.

Anders Östlund is CEO of Ticket2.com. In spring 2007 he was listed as one of Sweden’s most promising e-business entrepreneurs by Internetworld.

Room 2: Expanding Sales Activities in the Pharmaceutical Industry
by Ewa Rockmyr, Acando


The traditional sales model, with a sales representative visiting the doctor, is no longer sufficient. Access to doctors is becoming more and more difficult, time spent with the doctor is limited, and often more than one drug is to be detailed. Engaging the customer online is one way to overcome these hurdles and to gain a competitive advantage.

by Jen Brown, WebTrends,
and Jonathan Kirby, Live it

In 2008 US$30 billion will be spent on paid search advertising, doubling to nearly US$60 billion in three years. Despite increasing ad budgets and SEM (search engine marketing) complexities, large advertisers continue to use outdated manual techniques, such as rules-based bid management, to manage their paid search campaigns, resulting in billions of wasted ad dollars each year. Learn how Live it has gone beyond bid management to dramatically improve its SEM return and conversion rates, while actually reducing the manual overhead common to bid management tools.

 

Jen Brown started her marketing career within the IT & telecoms industry, including the marketing of VoIP and unified messaging at a start-up organization, and held the position of UK & Ireland manager for NETGEAR. Given her expertise in online marketing, particularly SEO and SEM, she joined WebTrends in 2007 to manage the Ad Director bid optimization solution and team in Europe.

Jonathan Kirby, together with his friend Martin Charlton, founded Live it, which sells experiences as gifts, at the end of October 2005. Without any financial backing, Live it has grown to be an estimated US$6 million a year company. With little money for marketing, search-word advertising was the most cost-effective solution to lead the correct traffic to the website and has continued to be the largest single advertising investment.
