Nobody can deny that the marketing industry is in the midst of massive change. We used to use dollars to buy an audience. Today, we’ve got to use those dollars to create ideas that attract an audience and ignite conversations.
The good news? The options and opportunities are plentiful.
The bad news? There’s also plenty of hype.
Which is precisely why Espresso, Boston’s newest integrated marketing agency, is introducing the unfiltered event series.

Unfiltered events are exclusive, invitation-only gatherings of the best and brightest marketing execs and business leaders, aimed specifically at cutting through the marketing 2.0 hype and hearing from real experts, not self-proclaimed ones.
The inaugural unfiltered event takes place July 30, 2009, at OM in Harvard Square.
The Hosts & The Rabble-Rousers
Don’t think of these fine folks as “speakers”—think of them as conversation-starters. Rabble-rousers. Visionaries.
Sure, they’ll talk. But they’ll also listen. So bring your questions and prepare to participate.
