"I'm honored to have NJBankers as a partner of #BankSocial," says Founder John Siracusa. "NJBankers joins a long list of great partners that will make #BankSocial a blockbuster event, all as part of driving the movement toward bigger and better things. We've already experienced great success – NJBankers' partnership proves the #BankSocial concept has resonance for key players throughout the banking industry."

Siracusa contends that social media is an exciting new frontier for banks that want to continue building great relationships in their communities. #BankSocial will give attendees a chance to meet and listen to experts from across the social media, content marketing and banking landscape. The chief objective, he adds, is to give smaller retail banks the keys to face the marketing challenges of tomorrow with confidence and determinaion.

"The banking industry has undergone a lot of consolidation in recent years, leading in many areas to somewhat of a crisis of branding and identity," added Siracusa. "A long-term strategy that embraces technology is necessary to solidify a bank's brand in the digital age. Consistent and effective marketing that reaches consumers 'where they are' plays a major role in growth. Social media is therefore the critical next step in the evolution of the industry's overall marketing approach."

"NJBankers is pleased to partner with #BankSocial to bring valuable marketing tools to our membership", said John E. McWeeney, Jr., president and CEO of the New Jersey Bankers Association. "We encourage anyone interested in new channels for maximizing the visibility of their bank to attend the conference."

Siracusa encourages other banking associations around the nation to consider partnering with #BankSocial. Working together, these organizations can ensure a continued bright future for smaller retail banks. That future begins with the knowledge and understanding of how banks can adopt media technology to foster powerful human connections and create stronger communities and networks.

The #BankSocial Media Conference is scheduled for April 7–8 in Newark. A compelling lineup of guest speakers will share insights and lead programs that will inform and empower attendees. The goal of vision of #BankSocial is to give participants the tools and knowledge to seize today's social media marketing opportunities.
