The 10 largest non-profit organizations supporting marketing and communications in New Jersey are getting together on July 16, 2008, at The Olde Mill Inn at Basking Ridge, N.J., for a Joint Summer Networking Event. The evening, organized by the NJ MarCom Council, brings together marketing and communications professionals from all industries, with an opportunity to network and review the offerings of these organizations. Held several consecutive summers, each event brings more attendees (over 250 at the previous event) to meet peers and compare insights for the future of communications.
Sponsoring organizations, with a collective membership of more than 3,000, include:
- The Art Directors Club of New Jersey (ADCNJ)
- Northern New Jersey Professional Chapter of the Association for Women in Communications (AWCNJ)
- Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP)
- New Jersey Chapter of the American Marketing Association (NJAMA)
- Business Marketing Association of New Jersey (BMANJ)
- Marketing Executives Networking Group of New Jersey (MENG)
- Public Relations Society of America-New Jersey Chapter (PRSA/NJ)
- New Jersey Ad Club (NJAdClub)
- North Jersey Chapter of the Media Communications Association International (MCA-INJ)
- New Jersey Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (NJ/IABC)
The event is increasingly popular because it reaches so many aspects of marketing and communications: advertising, branding, communications, graphic design, art directors, competitive intelligence, market research, online marketing, public relations, video, Web designers, interactive specialists, printers, illustrators and educators. For those students who graduated in May and are now looking to join the workforce, this event provides a great opportunity to meet industry professionals who can help guide their career decisions.
Said Wendy Flanagan, NJ MarCom Council Chairperson, “The business organizations of New Jersey have so much value to offer their members. This Joint Summer Networking Event gives the organizations the opportunity to differentiate themselves, explain their benefits, and recruit new members.”
This cross-functional, cross-industry role analysis is interesting and relevant to the very nature of business in N.J. An informal survey on the event site home page (www.njmarcom.org) is collecting information from prospects to help determine trends in marketing and communications as well as the opinions of this audience. For example, to date, the most vested media for communications are e-mail, e-newsletters, whitepapers, and Web sites, followed closely by presentations, collateral, direct mail and tradeshows. Although 37 percent of those surveyed indicated a shift in budget to Web-based initiatives, 30 percent indicated that allocation had remained the same, 17 percent indicated an increase in all media, and 10 percent indicated a decrease in spending. Results from the survey will continue to be collected until the event on July 16, and final statistics will be shared amongst all organizations.
