What's Next, the Social Media and online marketing event will be returning in a few months and will be a lot bigger and better than the successful event earlier this year.

On February 6th 2012 in the University of Glamorgan ATRiuM building in Cardiff city centre, members of Liberty will be speaking, exhibiting and having a general mingle and chat with visitors.

Visitors get to choose from a wide range of seminar topics but can only fit a few into the day. If you are attending then make sure you come see the seminar that Gareth from Liberty is putting on. For an hour, you will learn numerous useful internet marketing tips, including how to:

• Create a Content Strategy that will make all future SEO work and Social Media campaigns a lot easier
• Find long-tail keyword opportunities and questions that your target market need answering
• Become the industry leader in your market by following simple processes

This will be the seminar that ties all social media marketing, search engine marketing and content marketing topics together, so should not be missed by anyone looking to make an impact online.

Earlier in the year, Gareth was approached by an online publisher to write a book on Pay Per Click advertising. Bookboon publishes short textbooks for students, professionals and business owners to download from their site.

They mentioned that there is a demand for easy to understand books in the world of online marketing and they wanted a title on Pay Per Click and Google AdWords. They needed a new book where the advice would fall somewhere between an introduction to the topic and a step-by-step guide for those new to search engine advertising.

A few month and 15000 words later, Gareth had written the book. Chris, who heads up the Liberty Pay Per Click team (and knows Google AdWords and Analytics inside and out), contributed on some chapters and made sure the book was up-to-date following the numerous AdWords changes.

If you want to learn about Pay Per Click advertising, in particular Google AdWords and Facebook Ads, then you can download your copy of How Google Changed Advertising and How to Master AdWords here.

Gareth presented this week at the annual Science and Discovery Centres Marketing Managers Conference. The keynote speech focussed on the importance of content and how great articles, blog posts, images and videos can make SEO and social media campaigns a lot easier.

Whilst most businesses were experiencing a summer lull, we were enjoying rapid expansion as four new members joined the team in August and September.

The SEO team expanded with the addition of Andrew Isidoro and Rachel Bloom. Andrew joined us as an account manager, working on SEO strategies and social media management. Rachel underpins the link building work with directory submission, social bookmarking and article marketing skills.

Holly Hartzenberg joined the copywriting team.  Holly uses experience built up in freelance article writing to work on website copy as well as create content such as articles and blog posts for clients.

Amy Lyddon joins Chris on the Pay Per Click team. Amy has years of experience in running SEO and Pay Per Click campaigns for a large ecommerce website.

With over 20 new projects coming on board in the past month, Liberty is quickly becoming one of the largest teams of internet marketers in the UK.

What happens when you put a copywriter, a link builder and a search engine marketer together? You get a kick-ass Go Karting team:

Nathan, Kris and Adam after winning the Cardiff Marketing Agency Go Karting Challenge this week.

Their team, SEOperstars, beat all others, including our second team, The Pay Per Clique, who came in last but one. The reason the other Liberty team finished so poorly? Because this is what happens when you put a social media marketer in a Go Kart:

It has taken five months of searching, negotiating and refurbishing and now we are finally in our new home. Other than a few little adjustments we are all settled and here's how things look:

We are now only 5 working days away from moving into our new home. This past week has seen new lighting, new cabling, new bathrooms, new everything.

The biggest transformation has been the two new meeting rooms. Upstairs there is one for us:

And downstairs there is one for the world's greatest iPhone and iPad app developers, rantmedia, who will be sharing the building with us:

A little bit of decorating, new carpets and some furniture and it's all done. We can't wait!
