This one’s is bit emotional for me. Back in the day, SES Chi-town was the very first search marketing conference I ever attended. Though the industry was nascent, in terms of mainstream public attention, it was clear that ‘us geeks and nerds were poised to take over the ROI-motivated-marketing-newly-wired planet. The experience blew me away and literally was the launching pad for AIMCLEAR-the company. Things have only gotten better.
