Mike and Danielle on Panels for ‘SXSTL’
Who needs to travel to Austin for SXSW when our very own Creative Director and Online Marketing Manager are speaking right here in St. Louis at ‘SXSTL’?
SXSTL: A Pre-SXSW Extravaganza is being put on by Social Media Club – St. Louis and St. Louis Women in Media on Tuesday, March 6th at the Moonrise Hotel in St. Louis. The event features three panel discussions covering a variety of topics affecting the marketing and design industries.
Mike Spakowski, Owner and Creative Director at Atomicdust, will share design insight on the “Is Creative Web Design in Jeopardy?” panel. With the widespread acceptance of easy to customize CMS platforms, such as WordPress, are we running the risk of stifling creativity and innovation in the world of web design? Mike and the panel will discuss the current trends in this platform war, as well as web fonts, mobile and tablet design, and HTML5 adoption.
Danielle Hohmeier, our Online Marketing Manager, will be a panelist for the “Why Pinterest is Winning” discussion. Pinterest is the social media site taking the internet by storm, reaching 10 million users faster than any standalone site in history. The panel will share trends and best practices, discuss Pinterest’s appeal on the personal and professional side, and make wild accusations as to where they see the social site going in 2012.
Don’t forget to stick around for the ‘After Party’ for more discussion, networking and, of course, drinks.
