In the final weeks of summer, the HighRoad client services team descended onto Walter E. Washington Convention Center to connect with area digital marketers and those traveling from all over the country. After sightseeing the DC monuments on Sunday (pictured above are Abby, Jeremiah and Sami), we started the DC Digital Summit Conference on Monday with opening keynote speaker Dan Pink, best selling author of When.

If it’s hot and humid, it must be August in DC, and if it’s August, then ASAE Annual must be around the corner. The HighRoad team is gearing up to connect with partners, clients and association executives in Chicago and this year we’re focused on sharing the cool work we’re doing with our client base when it comes to digital marketing and growth strategies.

Already boasting, the “world’s largest organization representing specialists who treat the ear, nose, [and] throat,” can now add multiple award winner for innovation in marketing technology in their back pocket. We’re just drying the digital-ink from our last announcement of their ASAE MM&C Gold Circle award in June, only to turn around and discover the American Academy of Otolaryngology has received yet another award! What could be causing AAO-HNS to be winning all these awards you’re wondering? The Academy, representing, 12,000 otolaryngologists (head and neck surgeons), makes member benefits personal with HighRoad’s Intelligent Contextual Email - or ICE for short.

HighRoad is pleased to announce our participation at .orgSource’s round table event on June 20, 2018. HighRoad’s very own Senior Digital Advisor, Aimee Pagano, will be leading the round table discussion, Using Marketing Automation to Drive Customer Motivation. As the digital landscape is shifting, associations of all sizes are adopting marketing automation to bridge the member retention gap and sustain a successful recruitment strategy.

Recently, I had the pleasure of pounding the proverbial charcoal grey carpet at ASEA’s MM&C Conference, held in D.C. Teeming with nearly 1,000 marketing and membership leaders in the association space, the event was a breath of fresh air in terms of digital possibility and receptiveness.

MMCC week is here! For those of you who are new to the association world, ASAE is holding their annual Marketing, Membership, and Communications (MMC) Conference at the Washington Convention Center. Attendees at #MMCCon can anticipate sessions on topics such as effective marketing, new technology trends, member recruitment, and more.
