Q2 Marketing Hosts “How to Build Quantifiable Marketing
Programs for Technology Companies”

Educational Series Topic Focuses on Industry-Wide Trend

McLean, VA—Q2 Marketing will hold an educational event on “How to Build Quantifiable Marketing Programs for Technology Companies” at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner, November 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Presented by Pamela Girardin, President, Q2 Marketing, the event will examine how smart companies are building quantifiable marketing programs that produce measurable, repeatable results.

Measurement of marketing results is an important and timely topic that is increasing in emphasis. “Those of us who have been responsible for running enterprise marketing departments realize the value of justifying the ROI of these programs,” said Girardin. “Analyst firms like Forrester and IDC are watching this very closely, but are concluding that there are a number of challenges, including the difficulty of defining ROI and empowering marketing professionals to act on what they know. Our seminar will explore these ‘gaps' in the quantification paradigm,” said Girardin
This event is recommended for C-level and director level marketing professionals in information technology. This event is not open to representatives from other marketing communications agencies. The fee is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Breakfast is included. Register at www.Q2marketing.com.
