Search Engine Strategies London 2010
LONDON – Search Engine Strategies (SES) announced the newcomer programme for the 2010 SES London Conference & Expo. The programme has been designed specifically for people with a fundamental knowledge of online marketing and advertising.

Matt McGowan, Vice President and Publisher for Incisive Media’s Interactive Marketing Group, including Search Engine Strategies, Search Engine Watch and the ClickZ Network, said,

“The percentage of first-time attendees at SES expos throughout the world has grown significantly. These are people with a very basic understanding of search engine marketing (SEM) including pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and search engine optimization (SEO)). Our research has shown that the global increase in online marketing activity is proportionate to the number of newcomers attending the expos. Businesses are expanding their online marketing teams. They are using SES as a platform for improving the skills of their experienced staff, as well as encouraging newcomers to explore the processes and apply them to their business marketing strategy. This schedule will enable delegates new to online to select the right session and maximize their time at SES London.”
