International Search Summit @ SMX Advanced

Seattle, WA: June 7, 2012

The International Search Summit Seattle will complement the advanced content of SMX with an entire day focusing on the complexities, challenges and opportunities of international search and social media marketing. If you are targeting multiple languages, countries and cultures this one day event will arm you with a wealth of ideas, techniques and solutions to implement in your campaigns.

There is so much to consider when your audience speaks different languages and is in different countries around the world. You need to think about language, culture, the law, the local players – be it search engines, social media platforms or advertising channels, logistics – the list goes on.

The International Search Summit is the only event that focuses on the challenges facing international marketers and provides practical solutions, advice and techniques for improving global online performance. ISS started in London in 2007 by international search agency WebCertain Group LTD, and has been produced in London, Oslo and Berlin.

The Summit brings together leading international experts and prominent global brands to tackle key topics and factors in international search and social media and provide advice, tips and techniques for organizations to employ in their global campaigns.

What Past Delegates Have Said:

The Summit was very informative, provided me with up-to-date knowledge & market trends through some excellent presentations…

“WebCertain put together a solid workshop. Not only were Andy’s presentations awesome; the guest speakers were outstanding. The workshop changed the way I approach our global online marketing efforts and I left San Jose with some important key takeaways.”

Bulent Guneyli, International Marketing & SEM Specialist, New Balance

“I’ve been to many different search conferences over the years, and not all the sessions are always helpful. However, the International Search Summit was worth every minute of my time. I had full confidence in the expertise of all the speakers since they had intimate working knowledge with both small and large sites, and provided great insights into the best tactics & strategies for both. I’ve been doing SEO since 2001, but I haven’t dabbled much in the international space; so as an SEO veteran but an international newbie, I was amazed at how some of the smallest considerations can have some big effects. I’d highly recommend the International Search Summit to anyone who is venturing into the International space or wants to improve their current search engine standings”

Eric Wu, Director of SEO, eHow.com

“I was very impressed with the presentations. Unlike other conferences I have been to, the vast majority of the content was new and actionable. I learned a lot.”
