A London-based group of search engine marketing professionals has formed Search Marketing Association UK (SMA-UK), a trade association to promote the SEM industry in the UK and other parts of Europe. The group formed as an alternative to the U.S.-based Search Engine Marketing Professionals Organization (SEMPO).
The quote above is from a Clickz article named UK Search Marketers Form SEMPO Alternative.
Some of the current members include:
- Barry Lloyd
- Andy Atkins-Kruger
- Paddy Bolger
- Richard Gregory
- Edward Cowell
- Colin Irwin
- Simon Collingridge
- Jason Cartwright
- Ammon Johns
- Mike Grehan
The new organization can be found online at http://www.sma-uk.org/.
Forum discussion at Search Engine Watch and Chris Sherman mentions it at the SEW Blog.
