Mitch Joel, President of Twist Image & Author of Six Pixels of Separation, to Keynote Acquisio User Summit 2012

Montreal, Canada—March 29, 2012—Earlier today, performance media platform makers Acquisio announced that Mitch Joel, President of Twist Image, will keynote the upcoming Acquisio User Summit, happening June 27-29 in Montreal. Joel, the author of Six Pixels of Separation and a sought-after speaker on a variety of digital marketing topics, will present the keynote discussion, “CTRL ALT DEL” at 9AM on Thursday, June 28. Joel’s keynote session will focus on the five movements that have changed business forever–and what this means for us as we move forward. SIX PIXELS OF SEPARATION AUTHOR TO SPEAK ON REBOOTING YOUR BUSINESS In his keynote session, “CTRL ALT DEL”, Joel will explain why the next five years of marketing will be about the convergence of five main areas that will require brands and agencies to adapt like never before, and why some will struggle with this shift, while others will simply roll along as the adoption incurs. Joel will also discuss how to take advantage of this shift by capitalizing on this moment in time, understanding it and being ready for a future that will move at a much quicker pace. According to Joel, “We have the technology. We have the data. We have the new media channels and platforms. We have the opportunity to publish whatever we want – in text, images, audio and video – instantly (and for free) to the world. What we do with this moment will be telling. It will also set the pace for everything that flows out of our marketing departments for the next five years. The opportunity is now.” USER SUMMIT AGENDA ANNOUNCED The company also unveiled its preliminary Summit agenda, which features a dual-track program geared toward both executives looking to increase their business efficiency and profitability with Acquisio, as well as those who use the platform daily to manage, track, and optimize online advertising campaigns for their clients.
