Terry’s presentation defines RelateVertizing and gives a clear case for why businesses need to start practicing it now or continue to lose touch with their audience. There is so much “noise” in the marketing arena that if your message doesn’t dot your intended audience between the eyes, they’ll never see it.
Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of what RelateVertizing is, why it matters so much right now and how to implement best practices in their own business.
