Workshop: Best Practice Social Media

Old Economy? New Economy?

Social media is a significant force changing the approach companies are taking to communications.  Ground-breaking programs engage citizen-journalists and challenge YouTube enthusiasts.  Companies have seen their brands revitalised while others have been tarnished in days by bloggers. 

What does it mean for Australia?  How will the uptake of social media transform business’ relationships with its key opinion leaders?  

 Presenting insights from world-best campaigns, Burson-Marsteller is pleased to offer a hands-on workshop on social media.  The session features Charlie Pownall, lead digital strategist for Burson-Marsteller Asia Pacific based in Singapore.  Also presenting on how this is changing the communications industry is Bill Rylance, Asia Pacific President & CEO.  Walter Jennings of
