social media for live events
DESCRIPTION
Live events come and go. The buzz is momentary and the content is all but forgotten the next day. It’s a huge shame to say the least. That’s why DigitalBinx set out to dissect ‘the social anatomy of a live event’. At our Social Media Week event we shared best practices and techniques to amplify events online. Presented by Gemma Phelan and Hassan Mirza of DigitalBinx, a digital and social media agency specialising in arts, culture and events. Past clients include Paramount Pictures, Museum of London, University of Westminster, TOMS, Debut Contemporary and 100% Design Show. This event also marks the launch of #gagldn, a new meetup for digital, arts and culture professionals in London. #Gagldn will be regularly organising fun and informative events where experts and newbies alike can mix, mingle, share and learn.TRANSCRIPT
