DESCRIPTION

As marketing people, there are two things we cannot help doing: making up new-fangled words (e.g. gamification) and following the latest trends. We’ve always loved new shiny things and while trends are important, as social marketers, it’s important to remember that there are some fundamentals we need to get right. In this presentation, Joe highlights some interesting trends in the digital and social space, what they mean for businesses today and how they can be actioned tomorrow. But more importantly why marketers need to be careful in following every trend and forgetting the basics…. How to stay interesting to your audience.
