About Seminar Snapshots

What are you passionate about? Your favorite sports team? Your family? Your newspaper? Do you know how to market to your audience based on what your readers and users are passionate about?
Passion-based marketing is at the core of what will revolutionize the news industry, says Nathan Gwilliam, director of strategic verticals and social strategy at the Deseret News of Salt Lake City. In this Seminar Snapshot, he will talk about how you can grow audience for your digital publications by appealing to their interests and passions.
