Let’s Get Social: Marketing and Social Media for Utilities

Join us in Denver, Colorado, this spring to learn how to “get social” with your energy customers. Utilities need to be up close and personal with their customers and this conference highlights two of the most important tools for doing that: social marketing and social media.

The first day focuses primarily on social marketing for utilities, looking at how to encourage energy customers to seek out, engage, and embrace energy efficiency and renewables as a new way of life and business. New programs combining commercial marketing techniques with social change approaches are being designed and launched to truly change attitudes and behavior and significantly boost participation in demand-side management (DSM) programs.

Day two complements day one by diving into the emerging social media space. We’ll cover the latest market research, its implications for utility communications and marketing, basic strategy, advanced monitoring and analytics, metrics and measurement, workflow and staffing, and engagement strategies. We’ll give you everything you need to develop your social media strategy.
