It involved a large number of marketers from across the globe, featuring a diverse array of topics under social media and digital marketing. Logistically, it almost seemed impossible; yet, SEMrush made everything run smoothly and beautifully without losing any personal touch. I gained valuable feedback and engagement from the live audience for my talk and our session on live streaming. Very few online conferences can have the level of audience engagement that Global Marketing Day received. A hearty congratulations to Anton Shulke and everyone who worked on this to make such a successful event.” – Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang , Founder of Classroom Without Walls “SEMrush asked me to be the backup and step up to the plate if there was a no-show from a guest, host or speaker. There were no no-shows, so I spent the entire New York leg in the studio hanging out in the Green room (that wasn’t green), surrounded by photos of the stars (Julie Andrews, Paul Simon, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama). Turned out to be a unique experience: for over 7 hours, there was a steady stream of more than 40 digital marketing people coming through the green room on the way to and from the sessions. And that meant literally hundreds of phenomenally interesting top-drawer digital marketing conversations to join in or tune into. Brilliant. Luckily, 4 of them were recorded for posterity on the #SEOisAEO podcast!” – Jason Barnard , Keynote Speaker and Master of Ceremonies at Kalicube “The first global marketing day event was beyond inspiring. It’s amazing how they were able to assemble the all-stars of marketing for one power-packed event. The marketing world needed this event. I was grateful to be a part of it and I can’t wait for next year!” – Tim Salau , Mr. Future of Work Photos Courtesy of Courtesy of Scot and Susan Westwater
