Tacos are good PR

What an interesting night we had at the Mighty Nightclub last night. It all started several weeks ago when Derek approached me to sponsor a taco truck. I was skeptical. How were tacos going to help us connect with the tens of thousands of web marketers who would like to try out the Yield Web Marketing Suite?

Then, he introduced me to Myles Weissleder. Myles is awesome. He’s a one man show and the best way to describe him is that he’s everyone’s best friend. He runs this event called SFNewTech where he gets some of the best, brightest and most connected crowd in the valley to network, socialize and watch product demos of hot, new companies.

So, this time it was held at the Mighty Nightclub. We sponsored the taco truck, and we demoed first. 5 minute demo, 5 minute Q&A, NO SLIDES. Live demo… love the pressure. They even had a film crew there, so we’ll see if it makes it to the Web in some form. People were engaged, people were tweeting. Now I know why tacos = PR! I was also thrilled to see that innovation and entrepreneurship is alive and well. Really liked Gregarious Narain’s demo of Lil’Grams and Ryan Waggoner of MightyBrand.

To everyone I met last night, it was fun. Thanks for keeping me so entertained!
