Your message is only as good as its ability to reach people. Over the last year as the content we consume and where we consume it has become increasingly visual, the most effective way to reach people online is through images. People are spending more time on Pinterest than Facebook. And Facebook acquired Instagram for $1 billion. In this engaging presentation, Leigh will explore the rise of the Visual Web and how you can leverage it to shape the knowledge used to make business decisions.

One of the most powerful things about the AMA is the tireless efforts that our board members put in to make every event, communication, and project a success. You may not be aware of all that these individuals do, so Marci DeVries, President of the Batlimore Chapter would like to highlight a few superstars for the month of December.
Katie Roberts – Katie has embraced mobile marketing for the Baltimore Chapter and is taking us into the pockets of marketers throughout the region. We would like to recognize Katie’s brave foray into an area of marketing that is new for her, with our new partner, Mobile Scoops.
Keith Michel – Keith has introduced several new event styles to the Chapter’s roster of in-person get togethers – He has arranged national events including the Social Media boot camp, as well as very successful no-charge events including the Meetup on December 1, and our upcoming roundtable for non profits. We now do offer “something for everyone” in our event roster.
Nichole Kelly – Nichole has undertaken the monumental task of overhauling our e-newsletter. This updated look and content style is her brain child and the entire chapter is thrilled. She also negotiated with a new software vendor, Blue Sky Factory, to host and distribute the newsletter. We hope you like it as much as we do.
Don’t forget there are many opportunities for YOU to get involved. We are currently accepting nominations for the 2011 AMA Board of Directors and Committee members. You can nominate a colleague/friend or it’s totally okay to nominate yourself! This is a great opportunity for you to network with area marketers and help be drive change in the Baltimore region. If you are interested please contact marci (at) amabaltimore.org.
