Chestnut Ridge, NY (March 6, 2013) –When it comes to an effective branding strategy effective trade show booth design, content is king. However, according to the recent study conducted by the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, B2B Content Marketing: 2012 Benchmarks, Budgets & Trends, respondents identified "producing the kind of content that engages prospects and customers" (41 percent) and "producing enough content" (20 percent) as major challenges in content marketing for business-to-business marketers.

Matt O’Mara, senior vice president of client services at MC2 ("MC-squared"), will address solutions to these challenges during his presentation, Tap Your Agency to Super-Charge Your Content, one of four new topics from MC2 added this year to the EXHIBTOR2013 conference. In his presentation, O’Mara will show how trade show communication has moved from a one-way broadcast to a dialog where content is king. He will explain how to develop relevant, on-strategy messaging by learning to work with your advertising agency. The presentation will be held at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at EXHIBITOR2013 conference. 

"A strong agency relationship is a tremendous resource for the trade show marketer," O'Mara states. "I want those who take this course to come away with an understanding of how to work with their advertising agency to meet the challenges to creating content and championing their brand."

O’Mara leads the MC2 Detroit office and develops new business company-wide. His passion for marketing has fueled his successful career in experiential marketing. Over the course of his career, O’Mara ran his own advertising agency and held positions with Saatchi & Saatchi, Doner Advertising and Team One Advertising. Before joining MC2 last May, he served as General Manager of the Detroit office of Imagination: The Americas, a global full-service creative agency, where he led the Ford Motor Company Auto Shows and Events business.
