Fundraising presentation for potential sponsors of Plus One Fest: A collaborative music festival where half the lineup is booked by the bands themselves.
Traditionally, brand marketers have spent substantial resources on market research to understand who their customers are, what they are interested in and how they behave. Now brands can turn to their social networks to reveal powerful data about fans and followers for a fraction of the price, and without ever pulling together a focus group.
When done right, social market research dives deeper than surface-level demographics and interests. It employs multivariate analysis of consumer attitudes, values, behaviors, beliefs, and sentiment to uncover fans’ affinity for other brands, competitors, interests, media properties and more.
The learning has powerful practical applications for brand marketing strategies and tactics:
• Selecting appropriate media targets online and off.
• Helping better position the brand.
• Highlighting messages fans respond to best, which can influence content online and off.
• How often to post on social networks and what keywords to use.

We are pleased to announce our 6th Annual Cannabis LAB Conference. Last year we pivoted, adjusted, survived and delivered an outdoor experience that everyone enjoyed and found meaningful. This year, with your help, we aim to do it again, but beer. We will accomplish this in a strategic way working directly with you. In fact, as our partners we want you embody this year’s slogan - United We Grow.
After years of sticking to the traditional conference format we believe we have created a two day experience for attendees, exhibitors, presenters and leaders to enjoy and find valuable. This will be the year of higher engagement and interaction facilitated through cultivated sessions, workshops, activations and experiences. Building a national conference in South Florida is not easy so making the most of what Florida has to offer is how we attract the best and brightest to come and lead our education. Our programming and amazing presenters are what attract large audiences from all over.
