AJ Bombers Challenges Ian’s Pizza at Madison Grand Opening

UPDATE NOTE: SOLD OUT! We posted this event on Eventbrite the evening of Feb 1, 2012 and then posted on Twitter that same night. We then sent out the email invite from Eventbrite on February 2, 2012. Within 26 hours of publishing this event we soldout and went on waitlist status. That was even before we got this posted to the blog. Great job everyone who knows to stay on top of their email.

I wanted to add the event on this blog even though soldout to document the event.Unfortunately, we do have limited space for this venue. We hope to find ways to release a few more tickets but you can be sure, our upcoming venues will be upped a bit. If you aren’t on the waitlist, we can release tickets to you. If you do get on the waitlist, we will add you to the invitee list for next month. Please see Upcoming Events for the next few months of speakers

On January 28th two Champions faced each other in a friendly competition. In the red corner AJ Bombers, the Milwaukee Food Wars Champion for Best Burger and newest addition to the downtown Madison dining scene. In the black corner Ians Pizza on State, named Wisconsin’s Best Pizza by Food Network Magazine.

To celebrate the grand opening of AJ Bombers second and newest location in beautiful downtown Madison they invited a local competitor and fellow social media savvy food retailer to throw down in a friendly competition that you had to taste to believe. With 5 rounds of samples including tributes to each others menus guests were treated to some of the best food Madison has to offer.

AJ Bombers Director of Marketing Jaron Klopstein, and Adam May, Director of Marketing for Ian’s Pizza on State will discuss what went in to planning, organizing and executing this event and how they used social media to do it all.

They will discuss the tools they used, how they got their staffs involved, how they managed their message and of course who they think won the throwdown.

We invite you to join us to learn from these two great establishments, both of which are actively using social media every day to engage their existing customers and raise awareness with potential customers. Both Ian’s And Bombers are sponsoring this event along with our ongoing event sponsors Engaging Social and Suttle-Straus. Please visit our sponsors on Facebook & Twitter and LIKE, FOLLOW and THANK them to show your support.
