in film, video and related media arts.

OUR NEXT EVENT:
Marketing Your Media with Web 2.0
Bay Area Women in Film and Television’s May General Meeting Event: Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
PLEASE NOTE: Although many of our special events include both men and women, our general monthly meetings, such as this one, are for WOMEN ONLY!
Is marketing your video or film using social networking sites and other Web 2.0 tools making you dizzy? Discuss with local filmmakers, technologists, and public relations strategists proven marketing techniques and tools that make building an audience for your media projects - in theaters and online - easier to do.
Panelists include:
Jennifer Jones, Producer/Host of Marketing Voices which broadcasts online on PodTech.
Jennifer is the creator and host of MarketingVoices™ and is a 25-year technology marketing veteran. This has a twofold appeal to our members as not only is she a master at marketing in the era of Web 2.0 but she also has to use the exact same technology to promote her Web 2.0 show as filmmakers would need to understand to promote their film. We can learn from how she markets her own show and not have to reinvent the wheel.
Please listen to one of her podcasts at: http://www.marketingvoices.com/author/jennifer
Mark Rotblat, Director of Marketing for Tubemogul of San Francisco
