Topic: Google My Soul: Reaching A New Generation of Spiritual Seekers

Presenter: Damian Geddry

Damian Geddry is a marketing professional who “stumbled into Claremont School of Theology and became fascinated by the disconnect between mainstream protestant churches and their communities.” He created a series of classes, workshops and seminars that address the church disconnect by using research and marketing techniques.

Damian Geddry cut his marketing teeth at Gray Advertising in New York, one of the largest ad agencies in the world. He currently works in a Toyota digital ecosystem the intersection of advertising, social media, website, CRM, and search engine optimization. He explains why “nonprofit organizations—from mainline protestant churches to environmental groups—have a visibility challenge. They are often invisible to Google…and social media.” How can we listen before we speak? Research before we reach out? So, can you Google your soul? Let’s talk about it!

In our conversation Paul Capetz, pastor of Christ Church by the Sea, a United Methodist church in Newport Beach, will also share how he’s been applying what he’s learning from Damian.
