Focused on the rapidly changing needs of event planners, the new website features an interactive home page with intuitive search navigation; the most robust video channel in the industry; enhanced speaker profile pages; fully integrated social networking; and easy-to-access resources ensuring event planners are simply one click away from finding the perfect speaker. The new website will officially launch November 11th, 2010. Features include:
Search Functionality
GTN’s goal to enhance the event planning process began with a focus on search functionality. The new site features an auto-suggest search bar that populates previous searches and suggested speaker name matches. Through relevant keyword tagging, the new site enables the user to search by topic, bio content or popular phrases, and the new “recently viewed” speaker category helps visitors track their own search results.
Social Media Integration
Effective integration of social media has become the cornerstone of the event industry’s best practices. As a result, the new greatertalent.com features a live twitter and facebook feed directly on the homepage. Also visible during live searches, the website’s emphasis on social networking keeps event planners ahead of the trends, from one second to the next.
Video Channel
GTN’s newly redesigned Video Channel is a one-stop, fully integrated “hub” of speech video content. Integrating GTN’s YouTube channel, which boasts more than 1.5 million views, GTN’s Video Channel is searchable by category or speaker and features multiple videos per speaker. Designed to make the speaker selection process as efficient as possible, the new Video Channel offers previews of speeches, press appearances and other content – available under one roof.
From Page-to-Profile
GTN’s enhanced speaker pages take “networking” to a new level. With live news feeds, links to each speaker’s twitter and facebook feeds, multiple videos in a variety of topics for each speaker and speech testimonials from real event planners, each page reads more like a content-rich profile. Consolidated on one simple expandable toolbar, event planners can retweet a speaker’s profile or “like” the page, all at the simple click of the mouse.
