If there are two things the crew at WebRanking love (there are, and more than 2 in fact) then it’s a great conference and an equally impressive party. Which is why, when the opportunity presented itself to be this year’s Wrap Party sponsor for Portland State’s Digital Marketing Conference, we couldn’t say no.

Two days of keynote speakers, presentations by Portland business leaders, boot camps, networking, Ignite styled speakers, digital marketing knowledge…and a wrap up soiree at Nel Centro? Yes, please!

And since this is the holidays, why not share in the festivities? That’s why we are giving away one Digital Marketing conference pass ($275 value) Continue reading “WebRanking is proud to sponsor the 2011 PSU Digital Marketing Conference” »

The great people at the Digital Marketing Conference in Portland have been kind enough to offer the members of MnSEM a 15% discount in order to attend their event on Monday, December 13 at Portland State University. While it is short notice for an event not being held in Minnesota and one that happens to fall right in the middle of the holiday season, they have a great line up of speakers and for those looking to get away this event looks to be well worth the trip.

Besides, who doesn’t want to escape the cold frigid winter of Minnesota for a few days of mild overcast and above freezing weather in Portland?

As proud sponsors of Ignite Portland 9 we were tasked with creating a 30 second promotional video to be played during the event’s intermission at the Bagdad theater. Our original idea was to create a 70’s stylized buddy cop movie trailer with my 1 year old son, but when the “Lil’ Dictator” was more inclined to eat the fake mustache than he was to wear it, we decided to go in a new direction.

While only one of WebRanking’s “two bad brothers you know so well” were available for the filming of the trailer, Tony and I decided to move forward without the “one lone Beastie” and create our own version of Sabotage. While WebRanking certainly have no aspirations of leaving the Search Engine Marketing community after 12 ½ years in order to pursue film making, we did enjoy the process plus it gave me an excuse to sport a mustache for the past couple of months.

The above video is the complete trailer, which is different from the 30 second teaser shown at Ignite Portland 9 and which can be viewed below. Continue reading “Ignite Portland 9 Video | Sabotage: The Movie” »
