In January and February 2010, executives from iProspect and Google partnered on a series of live events around the country, focusing on the need for organizations to integrate search marketing campaigns with other marketing channels.

Whether it’s offline channels such as TV, print, direct mail, etc., that generate demand and cause prospective customers to perform online searches – or online demand-generation channels such as email or display advertising that lead to offline buying, research has shown the need to coordinate these efforts with search marketing campaigns in order to maximize the effectiveness of all the channels involved.

In this webcast – which follows a Q+A format – representatives from Google and from iProspect will share lessons learned from these live events and boil them down to key examples and best practices for integrating search with other online and offline channels, as well as for integrating paid and organic search efforts with each other.
