Since moving to Chicago, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Aaron Goldman, one of the leaders in digital marketing in the Midwest…and soon to conquer the rest of the English-speaking world with the launch of his book, Everything I Know about Marketing I Learned From Google.
Aaron is a board member of the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association as well as the founder and principal at Connectual, a digital marketing consulting and matchmaking firm that helps with practice development, recruiting, and partner sourcing. After hours, Aaron writes for MediaPost’s Search Insider column.
In the following video, as a part of his book’s blog tour, you’ll see that Aaron is not only an astute digital marketing and search consultant but also a funny and entertaining presenter…and rapper.
