As a nice followup to my recent post on SL marketing (an initiation rite that all SLers do!)Â Wagner James Au reports that there will be followup to the great article on Avatar-based Marketing with a panel discussion in this Friday in Second Life!:
Moderated by Ansible Berkman (the indefatigable host and caretaker of Second Life’s Berkman Island) this will be a roundtable of real world/virtual world marketers, consultants, developers, journalists, and combinations of all four, including myself. Should make for a fascinating afternoon:
“Avatar-based Marketing: What’s the future of Real Life Companies Marketing to Second Life Avatars?” Friday, June 23 at Noon, Second Life Time (i.e., PST), Berkman Island.Panelists:
- Hempman Richard (aka Paul Hemp, Senior Editor, Harvard Business Review)
- Cristiano Midnight (SLUniverse/Snapzilla)
- SNOOPYbrown Zamboni (aka Jerry Paffendorf, Second Life Future Salon/Electric Sheep Company)
- Zero Grace (aka blogger Tony Walsh, Clickable Culture)
- Razor Rinkitink (aka Raz Schionning, Director of Web Services, American Apparel, with just-opened Second Life outlet)
- Hamlet Au (aka blogger Wagner James Au, New World Notes)
I’ll try and make it (it will be Sat 5am here). If you see me there, Lythe Witte, IM me a hello!
