191 - Creating Word-of-Mouth Marketing in Dark Social | Traffic & Conversion Summit 2021

09/17/21 • 43 min

Chris Walker presented a keynote on Dark Social at this year's Traffic & Conversion Summit in San Diego, CA. We've discussed dark social on the podcast before, but as a reminder - dark social consists of the places where B2B buyers are discovering new products. Places where attribution is not available, like communities, organic social, groups, content platforms, meetups and internal comms. Chris not only discussed WHAT dark social is, but HOW marketers can allocate resources to make sure their brand is top of mind and being discussed in dark social.
