On Monday, October 4th Hill Holliday will be hosting the Social Media Club for an evening filled with “the futuristic present of marketing.” This event also kicks off our official headquarters sponsorship of #FutureM Week.

We didn’t want to do yet another predictions panel about the future of marketing, but instead have a discussion about seemingly futuristic things that are actually happening in the present time – and the implications to all of us as marketers.

In addition to a few cool “futuristic” prizes we’ll be giving out to those who check-in to Hill Holliday via Foursquare, we will also select one lucky prize winner from our virtual Ustream audience.
