Honoring the best social media projects, programs and campaigns
in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington and Idaho)

Thursday, April 21, 2011

After a wildly successful event in 2010, the 3rd annual SoMe Awards are ramping up for a repeat performance! Last year, Social Media Club Portland, SEMpdx, the Software Association of Oregon and Innotech presented one of the nation’s only social media awards programs to a capacity crowd of 200+ marketing and technology leaders.

These organizations – joined by the blogging mavens at TMMpdx.com – are planning an expanded event with libations for every ticket-holder, red-carpet interviews with winners, live streaming and more.

With a strong combined membership among the sponsoring organizations, aggressive marketing to NW region, and 500,000 projected media impressions, the SoMe Awards show is on track to be the biggest awards show of its kind.

As a sponsor, your business will have an unprecedented opportunity to build awareness within a highly targeted – and fast-growing – sector of the business and marketing community. Your brand will be everywhere people are talking about the SoMe Awards: online marketing (Twitter, Facebook, association sites, SoMeAwards.com, press), association meetings, the Innotech conference, broadcast press coverage.

Supporting sponsors will have plenty of branding opportunities online and offline as well. See the full list below. With just five total sponsorships available, these targeted marketing opportunities will be snapped up quickly!
