Transitions in the Search Marketing Industry
Monday, September 22, 2008Drifting off to sleep last night I knew it would be a weird morning when I woke but I had no idea exactly how weird it would be. I not expect the two pieces of news that greeted me when I logged on.
The first bit of news that slightly shocked my world comes from New York City. Incisive Media, the company which owns the Search Engine Strategies Conferences announced Kevin Ryan was being laterally shifted away from the programming of SES to chairing its advisory board. In his place, Stewart Quealy has been promoted to the position of VP of Content Development. Steward is now responsible for creating conference programming for all SES events including SES shows, webcasts and training courses. Assisting Stewart will be Marilyn Crafts who has been promoted to Stewart’s former position of Sr. Program Director. Kevin Ryan will continue to be a major player at SES. Kevin will continue as a public face of the conference series and will continue to speak, keynote, and lead the popular Orion Sessions. He is now chairman of the SES Advisory Board.
