Sheffield DM #28 - Digital Marketing Meetup

It's gonna be a big year for Sheffield DM - we're excited to kick off our biggest programme of events yet with February's meetup.

SPEAKERS

Olivia Day
SEO Lead, Digitaloft

Talk: “Case Studies in EEAT: Going the Extra Mile to Leverage Businesses' Real-life Expertise”

We've hard a lot about Experience-Expertise-Authority-Trust (EEAT) over the last few years in SEO, but retrieving that information from clients (if you're agency-based) or colleagues (if you're in-house) isn't always straightforward. Olivia will share case studies of how she's gone the extra mile to elicit expertise, and also show us how EEAT applies to other channels besides organic search.

Bradley Webster
Senior SEO Lead, Herd

Talk: “I'm a Fraud: Imposter Syndrome in Marketing & Why You're Not Alone”

With over five years' SEO experience at agencies across Yorkshire, Bradley has a passion for technical SEO, problem-solving, strategy and processes and has worked on a wide range of clients, especially in the finance and automotive sectors. But as with so many of us, he's not immune to suffering imposter syndrome. In this talk, he'll cover off why encountering imposter syndrome is perfectly normal in our profession, how it can manifest itself and how to overcome it.

New Year, New Speakers!

The lineup for Sheffield DM #21 features a host of incredibly talented marketers:

🔸 Katie Thompson, Freelance Content Marketing Specialist @ Katie Lingo

The Golden Client Ratio: How to Shift Your Digital Marketing Business for Sustainable Growth

Too often, we see business leaders prioritising acquisition. While news leads are a key indicator of a healthy business, they should not be the sole driving force. In this data-led seminar, Katie Lingo offers a tailor-made client review that focuses on retention, upselling and growth.

The session will outline a client tiering system that helps both agencies and freelancers make key decisions. Identify where to upsell, where to redistribute time and how to develop long-term customer relationships. These tried-and-tested methods have been instrumental in growing the Katie Lingo brand – and you can use them to grow yours.

🔸 Laura Stead, Freelance Marketer @ Laura Stead Marketing

How to Make Marketing Rewarding Beyond Financial Gain

Is there more to marketing impact than metrics and money? Hella...yes! Let's talk about how we can use our skills to reap the rewards we truly deserve. And I'm not talking about fancy cars, swanky holidays and a designer lifestyle (although a bit of that is nice from time to time). I'm talking about how we can get that warm fuzzy glow from a good job done well. The content of this talk is very much inspired by my 90s-child love for the Care Bears and, of course, my marketing career.

🔸 Byron Tassoni-Resch, Co-Founder & Managing Director @ WeDiscover

Leveraging automation to scale Paid Search for Deliveroo

Using custom marketing technology, how did Deliveroo build an automated Paid Search strategy and create unique solutions for complex geo-targeting challenges.
