Earlier this fall we launched Think2010 - an aggregation of resources highlighting perspectives on the changing face of marketing and strategies to help you prepare for 2010 and beyond.
It's been a few weeks since the Agency Blog team brought you an update on this initiative, so wanted to highlight some of the Think2010 resources now available:
Blog series - each week the Inside AdWords Blog team will be devoting a post to data, trends and tactics you can use to craft your 2010 strategy. Most recently, it featured an interview with Rick Carpenter from the agency DDB who shared the importance of focusing on the customer. Check out the blog series
here.
Fast.Forward. - we're continuing to expand the volume of thought leader videos and consumer trend data on the
Fast.Forward. channel, a joint effort between Google and the Wharton School. Watch highlights from our ThinkIndustry events series (under "Videos" > "Industry") and use The Barometer (accessible from the "Trends" tab) to understand consumer sentiment on a daily basis.
Webinars - in addition to videos, we wanted to bring you opportunities to hear directly from industry leaders, such as Bonita Stewart, Managing Director US Sales, and Avinash Kaushik, Analytics Evangelist, via in-person webinars. Upcoming events and links to past sessions can be found on the Inside AdWords Blog as well as the Think2010
site.
