Businesses of all sizes have always shared the singular challenge of reaching local customers.  As people move away from computers at home or work to increased connectivity through mobile devices, new opportunities are emerging via the “Web Outside.”  Our three business experts will describe this new paradigm that has changed the way businesses and customers connect.  They will describe how businesses can maximize their marketing efforts via the “web outside” and demo existing tools and sample campaigns, moderated by Gabriella Dow, VP of Strategic Initiatives for Startup Circle. Our panelists include Kyle Ballarta (Director of Marketing and founding member of LifeProof) and Boian Spassov (founder and CEO of Locbit).
