The American Marketing Association of Chicago is getting ready for its BrandSmart conference. They sent out a video late last week previewing the event featuring Ted Souder, Google’s Head of Industry-Retail.

He talks about two things important for businesses to get a handle on… mobile and video. Souder says,

For the record… T60 is an official sponsor for AMA-Chicago and does produce event preview videos for the organization, but the video mentioned above doesn’t happen to be one.
