125 years of Angry Birds played every day: SEER Interactive event

Just how addicting is Angry Birds? Google Inc.’s Chris Morgan, head of channel managed agencies, offered a number to quantify it.

“125 years of Angry Birds are played every day.”  he said at a SEER Interactive event last month called “Breaking Down Silos.”

At the event, five cross-industry thought leaders spoke at the Search Church, SEER Interactive’s headquarters, on how they’ve bridged silos to build marketing synergies, like using social media to amplify SEO efforts or paid search to jumpstart content strategy.

The event raised over $3,500 that was donated to The American Cancer Society, Robin Hood Foundation, Covenant House and The American Cancer Society, Relay for Life.

Here are more soundbytes from the event:
