We have liftoff!

Last night’s event exceeded our expectations, with an estimated participation of between 50 and 60 marketing and PR professionals gathering at the funky Lolita Lounge to hear Mitch Joel and Mylène Forget speak about social media.

Mitch was impressive, as always, presenting a talk about PR and social media that he developed specifically for the event.   I think it’s safe to say that he convinced more than a few professionals in the room that social media is not only coming, it’s here.  Great stats and recommendations left us with a lot of food for thought.

Mylène Forget gave us concrete examples of what her own Montreal PR agency, Massy-Forget, is doing in the social media space.  She shared her perspectives on past campaigns and thoughts on best practices.  It’s always terrific to hear from people who are already testing the waters.

The Montreal community is very supportive, and I was thrilled to see some of our local social media luminaries in attendance : Michel Leblanc, Claude Malaison, Sébastien Provencher, Geoffroi Garon, Pierre Bouchard, Marc Snyder among others.  And what Third Tuesday kickoff would be complete without the blessing of Joe Thornley?  We’re glad he could make the trip from Ottawa.

Watch this space : our event’s podcast and vidcast should both be edited and uploaded shortly.  They’ll feature interviews with speakers and participants.  It’ll almost be like being there.  Well, maybe not quite.

To get the full benefit of 3e mardi | Third Tuesday Montreal, be sure to attend next month’s event.  Check out our calendar for all the details.
