Market Motive News

Scotts Valley, California (PRWeb) January 14, 2009 - Market Motive continued to stay ahead of the curve on Wednesday with the announcement of their Master Certification Faculty Panel as a live web event–a unique offering, even by Market Motive standards. It’s all part of their highly-touted Internet Marketing Certification program finale slated for January 27, 2009.

The description of this final project–a live panel review gauntlet–reads like a wild fusion between American Idol, a PhD dissertation defense, and a lightning-round news roundtable show. Candidates will vie for faculty endorsements under the scrutiny of a live audience and a few surprise A-list online marketing critics.

Taking their concept a step further, Market Motive has opened up the event to the public for free?and not just for passive onlookers. Registrants may choose to absorb the dissertation on the latest standards or opt to have their website evaluated by the graduating consultants. For event information and free registration, visit http://www.marketmotive.com/master-certification-graduation.php .

Says Scott Milrad, Director of Online Education and “Dean” of the Master Consultant Certification programs, “We really wanted this final project to be fun and original, yet at the same time, continue to uphold the integrity we’ve strived for throughout the entire program. Ultimately, this format just fell into place on every level.”

Dream Team Faculty

The endorsing faculty panel is truly a who’s who of Internet marketing and includes:

* Bryan Eisenberg on Conversion Optimization
* Greg Jarboe & Jamie O’Donnell on Online PR
* George Michie, Mark Evans on Paid Search / PPC
* Matt Bailey on Social Media
* Avinash Kaushik & John Marshall on Web Analytics
* Todd Malicoat on SEO
* Michael Stebbins on Email Marketing
* Plus several surprise guests

Candidates who pass the final challenge will receive certification status for one year from graduation.
