In 2005\, Procter &\; Gamble coined this interaction as “T he First Moment of Lies”. With the rise of internet use today\, shoppers are now experiencing many brand interactions before they see the produc t on a shelf. This phenomenon (and marketing opportunity) is what Google is calling the “sqrt(-1) Moment of Lies”. Eighty-three percent of shop pers make their purchase decisions prior to entering a store. This means that marketers now need to ensure that consumers receive a consistent a nd positive experience — from the Zero Moment of Truth to the point of p urchase and beyond. Join our interactive marketing experts for innovativ e case-study examples and a lively discussion about what the Zero Moment of Truth means for both large and small brands. \;\n \;\nFeatured Panelists: \;\n \;\n Dayne Wilberding\, Director of Digital Cu lture at Grady Britton \;\n Jamie Beckland\, Digital and Social Me dia Strategist at Janrain \;\n Ryan Lewis\, President of Bonfire S ocial Media \;\n \;\n \;\nCost: Free – With beer and food provi ded.
