The interview
Is the Internet Marketing Party right for someone in digital marketing?
If you are at all interested in anything that touches the industry of digital marketing, for sure, it's a no brainer. You've got to come because whether it's social media, paid media, content marketing, better emails, or site development, this is absolutely the spot for you.
What if I am already an experienced marketer?
If you've been doing it for ten or 15 years, so have a bunch of other people here. Come and meet us because we've also been doing it, and you can imagine what we can do working together.
How long have you been involved with the community?
I've actually been coming to the Internet marketing party going on twelve years now. When I first started, I knew nothing about Internet marketing. I literally just decided I was going to create an Internet marketing business and learn this whole digital marketing thing.
What was your experience when you first moved to Austin?
I'd been here for like two weeks and met Dave Gonzalez and a ton of incredible people, and the rest is history.
What has the Internet Marketing Party done for your business?
What is it not done for my business? The connections that are here, the peers that are here that you get to work with, the talent that is here, and speakers that talk about cutting edge, new, unique, and useful things where you can get a competitive advantage.
How has the nature of your participation changed over time?
Now doing this for over a decade, we're at a different stage where we're all growing up and we're continuing to have those conversations just at much higher levels. I was literally just in a meeting where we were creating other companies.
