SEO Management Firm Guest Lectures at The Art Institute of Washington

SEO Management firm, Silverback Strategies, was invited back to guest speak at The Art Institute of Washington on the topic of “Online Consumer Behavior.”  Students learned about real world Online Marketing examples from expert Joe Erfe of Silverback Strategies, a top DC Internet Marketing Firm.

Erfe, Vice President, gave students in the AiW’s Persuasion and the Consumer course real-world advice about his experiences with executing online marketing campaigns based on the work Silverback does for its clients on a daily basis.

"It’s fun explaining to students how new trends in online marketing affects different industries." said Erfe. “It was such a great experience showing students how search engine optimization, paid advertising, and social networks impact and grow companies today.”

“I think Silverback’s presentation brought a great dynamic to the course. It's an area in which we have not covered with class material so presenting Silverback Strategies to them introduced another facet of the business,” said Sheila Wexler, President, Wexler Marketing Group, Inc. and advertising professor at The Art Institute of Washington.

Professor Wexler’s teaching experience in marketing and advertising includes a full-time professorship at West Virginia University and adjunct positions at The George Washington University, University of Virginia-Falls Church, and Trinity College-Washington. Her specialty areas are consumer behavior and integrated marketing communications. Her company, now in its 25th year, provides marketing research and strategic planning.
