ANN ARBOR – Lunch Ann Arbor Marketing (LA2M) has released its official Fall speaker lineup, and with a wide range of topics relating to digital and interactive marketing, it’s gearing up to be a dynamic season.

The LA2M Fall series kicks off, Wednesday, September 8th, with an Internet marketing theme that looks at Facebook Advertising, including what it is, how to know if its right for you, what to expect and much more. It?s going to be a fun start to the new LA2M season, so be sure to drop by.

The demand for digital is growing exponentially and this Fall, LA2M will challenge Ann Arbor to think digitally and utilize the online space to connect with customers,” said Derek Mehraban, CEO of Internet Marketing Firm, Ingenex and Founder of LA2M.

In the upcoming weeks, LA2M will be announcing a special guest speaker and on October 20th, attendees will get to hear the familiar voice of this famous presenter who will be speaking about his or her first-hand media experience from the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
