These new partnerships add to eBev 2013's impressive roster of sponsors and media partners, and will help provide beverage manufacturers, bottlers, distributors and retailers with the latest insights and valuable content regarding successful social media development and strategy.

Social Media Monthly is the first and only print magazine devoted to educating its readers on how to optimize social media, stay tuned to timely trending topics, and understand the latest leading-edge platforms, apps, and important marketing strategies. This magazine will provide eBev 2013 attendees innovative strategies to help tackle the dynamic social media landscape within the beverage industry.

WOMMA is the official trade association dedicated to word of mouth and social media marketing. At eBev 2013, WOMMA will help marketers develop engaging social media marketing practices and identify measurement standards while defining best practices for the beverage industry.

TwineLive aims to drive social engagement through captivating social media content including branded image sharing, content hashtags, and other dynamic visual strategies. Twine will provide a digital experience for marketers at eBev 2013 by featuring on-site social photo stations. At the stations, eBev 2013 attendees can take a photo with the hashtag #eBev2013, which will be posted directly to the twineLIVE app and shared to your social sites. The app also allows you to continue sharing photos from your personal device to the eBev 2013 branded galleries in the cloud. This technology demonstrates how beverage industry professionals can use real-time social media customer engagement to execute a tactical social media strategy for their own brands. Not to mention, the stations are perfectly shaped for beverage industry brand activations as GIANT bottles or cans.
