The Social Connection Zone (SCZ) is an unbiased space to get your digital marketing questions answered. In it’s seventh year, SCZ will go beyond the basics of social media and highlight the latest trends in digital marketing while also offering insight into how to best manage all things marketing and communication.
Based on the experiences and challenges faced by NADA members over the last several years, marketing expert Jessica Levin* and her team have created a program based on industry trends. They have developed short, 30-minute classes that will touch upon some of the most important topics in dealer marketing.
In addition to daily learning sessions, attendees can get one-on-one advice from our social connectors. This will be your chance to get some free consulting, courtesy of NADA. There are no “stupid questions” at SCZ. This is a safe space to ask about your most pressing social media and digital marketing issues or get help with a tech question that keeps you up at night. From mobile app recommendations to big picture ideas, SCZ has it all.
In addition, representatives will be prepared to answer any questions related to the NADA Show mobile app and help make your on-site experience the best it could be. Plus, don't forget to ask at the Social Connection Zone about how you can have a chance to win awesome daily prizes by participating in our NADA Show Scavenger Hunt. No appointment is needed, but we will happily reserve a time for you that meets your schedule. Feel free to stop by at anytime during the show for a quick lesson or an in-depth class.
Levin says, “We’ve seen the industry evolve over the last few years. Dealers are making smarter decisions and are more informed that ever. The Social Connection Zone is a convenient experience for them that covers hot topics, but more importantly, provides the opportunity to get objective advice on marketing.”
