Help is on the way, upper Midwest marketers! #Zenith2018 is coming fast. Don’t miss this year’s exceptional lineup of brilliant marketers and practitioners who can help bring your digital marketing prowess to the next level.
#Zenith2018 is set for Thursday, April 26 at Duluth’s Greysolon Ballroom and Zeitgeist Teatro Theater. Hundreds of marketers from around the region will gain leading-edge insight into digital marketing trends, combined with practical how-tos and deep dives into the key areas of digital marketing.

Â #Zenith2018 brings back some perennial presenters, including AIMCLEAR Founder Marty Weintraub, The Ordean Foundation’s Don Ness, Kevin Mullett from Marketshare and several of AIMCLEAR‘s marketers.

#Zenith2018 participants can focus energy on one general area of interest or explore across all three session tracks:
- Search & Social Paid: If marketers could make all the revenue needed without media spend…well we’d love that! However, free media lunch is not real. Channels include Google, Facebook & Twitter. Â
- Organic, Content, PR, Community & Â SEO: What’s real in 2018 in the universe of “free” distribution, what free really costs, and how to get ahead in the marketing mix.
