History

Networking Las Vegas for 7 Years…

Since 2004 LVIMA has been establishing communications and hosting special events within the Las Vegas interactive marketing community. The membership base includes internet marketing directors, managers, publicists, search specialists, media buyers, account executives, developers, and advertising professionals. The organization has been specifically designed for those living, working and conducting business in Las Vegas.

LVIMA began forming its foundation by congregating large-scale Las Vegas businesses to create a core network of internet professionals. Since then, there has been a strong outreach to all Las Vegas marketers to register and attend LVIMA events.The goal of LVIMA is to educate the local interactive marketing community with current trends in advertising and marketing. Staying on top of current interactive applications can be a daunting task. LVIMA seeks to provide information on emerging technology, media and strategy to local Las Vegas businesses, company owners and entrepreneurs. Past events have included “Mobile Madness”, “Behavioral Bustle” and “Interactive Awards Ceremonies”.

In late 2007, the association’s founders, AJ Vernet and Cory Treffiletti were wanted to hand LVIMA to someone that could build it locally and carry the torch with a continued engagement of interactive marketers. Shawn Rorick stepped into the role as Chairman and facilitate LVIMA’s next level of growth.

2008 introduced LVIMA as a profiled association seeking to educate the local members with emerging media channels available at their disposal. The response was overwhelming with a 300% increase in membership base.

2009′s economic influence did little to distill the community with even more growth during this time period. Marketers were forced to find new and alternative means to grow their business in Las Vegas which made LVIMA’s membership support flourish.

2010 kicked off with over 600 local marketing professional members in LVIMA’s database. It was another year of innovation in assembly and content. For the first time, LVIMA brought together thought-leaders as part of a chairing “committee” which set the pace for organization management and future growth.LVIMA is sponsored by a number of professional interactive advertising and emerging-media organizations that help make special events and networking activities possible.
