Today, radio and/or TV advertising is useless on its own; by itself, it’s "just noise". To be effective, advertising must direct potential clients to your website or blog and inspire readers to interact with your company using their preferred form of media (traditional or social media). Learn how to use social media to inspire, motivate and engage your customers more effectively so they join discussion groups, provide comments, and tweet about you. 

Allan Marston, VP of Marketing & Sales and co-founder of Meritopia, will be presenting and leading a discussion on Social Media strategies that can enhance your business. Allan has co-founded two technology companies, has CEO experience, and has successfully taken a company to Silicon Valley. Allan has over 25 years in the retail sector working with several major Canadian retailers including Holt Renfrew. He is a seasoned corporate executive who has led and advised sales, marketing, and human resource departments. 

At this session you will learn helpful tips, lessons learned, and social media/advertising best practices, including "In social networking it is far better for prospective customers to hear your customers rave about you, than for you to rave about yourself."


The DSA breakfast series provides an opportunity to meet fellow entrepreneurs and educators, to share ideas, find out what others are doing, and initiate opportunities for collaboration. Informal topics may include: how to sell ICT products and services, approaches to funding, ideas to promote your company, and recommendations for sector-level initiatives. All interested parties are welcome.
