It is one of the best (and our favorite) examples of what makes social media so powerful for brands – resulting in direct and measurable business results.

And the man behind the series, George Wright will be in Milwaukee at Marquette University on Thursday, April 8th speaking at the PR+Social Media Summit as the afternoon keynote. (If you want to register, you can up to three hours before the event.)

Described by Entrepreneur.com as one of the 13 best marketing ideas of all time, George Wright’s Will it Blend? viral marketing campaign has changed the face and the future of online marketing. Seen by more than 400 million people on the Internet and reported on by traditional media outlets like the Today Show, the Tonight Show, the History Channel and The Big Idea, Will it Blend? continues to deliver unprecedented corporate awareness through social media channels. This new form of marketing has delivered a 700 percent increase in sales for Blendtec, a small Utah based blender manufacturer, with an initial investment of $50.

But here’s the kicker: George will be a keynote presenter at the upcoming PR + Social Media Summit co-hosted by Comet with Marquette University on April 8th. And he has a few surprises in store for that event. You won’t want to miss it. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN.
