August 25, 2014

As we get closer and closer to this year’s Social Brand Forum, we just can’t contain ourselves. That’s why we want to keep sharing Social Brand Forum sneak peek videos with you. This week, we were honored to sit down for a quick chat with MarketingProfs’ own Kerry O’Shea Gorgone for her expert legal opinion on why the Social Brand Forum is a digital marketing event you won’t want to miss.

Yep. You read that last part correctly. In addition to being a speaker, writer, and educator, Kerry O’Shea Gorgone is also a lawyer. A recovering (no longer practicing) lawyer that is. These days, Kerry spends most of her time working as the Instructional Design Manager for Enterprise Training at MarketingProfs. She’s also the host of their popular Marketing Smarts podcast. In addition to being a speaker at this year’s Social Brand Forum, she covered our event for MarketingProfs last year.

We couldn’t wait to sit down and chat about #SocialBrand14 with Kerry.

Here’s an overview of Kerry’s talk at Social Brand Forum 2014!

Why Lawyers Kill Your Marketing Fun (and How to Change That)

There’s no law school class in “How to Be a Killjoy,” but sometimes it seems as though the Legal Department only exists to suck all the creativity out of your marketing campaigns. In this session, attorney and marketing professional Kerry O’Shea Gorgone will cover legal insights that can help you minimize the risk of getting sued, and she’ll share tips for developing campaigns that the lawyers can approve.
