Online Marketing Pro Clint Warren to Address Westport Sunrise Rotary, May 2

Clint Warren, online marketing entrepreneur, will speak on "Online Marketing De-Mystified" at the Westport Sunrise Rotary breakfast meeting on Friday, May 2nd. The meeting will be held at Bobby Q's Restaurant, 42 Main St., Westport, at 7:30 a.m. Guests are welcome. There is a $12 fee which includes a breakfast buffet.

Warren will present an overview of the different elements of online marketing: Search engine optimization, local listings and reputation management, email marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and social media.

"It's easy to get confused with all the terms floating around," said Warren. "Most importantly, it's how to get all those elements working together as part of a bigger marketing plan. I love helping local businesses consistently grow their revenue by building websites that stop visitors in their tracks and creating strategies to drive qualified leads to the business."

Warren is the founder of Illuminate WP, co-founder of Stacked Agency, vice president of the Westport Entrepreneurs, lead organizer of WordCamp Connecticut 2014, and organizer of four local Meetup.com groups. Warren left a job in finance four years ago to pursue a career in personal training, getting sidetracked by web development while studying for his certification.
