One of the topics that was just presented at Ogilvy’s Verge digital summit, which is taking place right now.
Despite an estimated 417M users in Asia Pacific consuming social media, very few brands are actively leveraging the channel in a way that creates true value. In an attempt to provide direction to marketers and brands, we are initiating some research and we want you to be part of it.
Join the conversation by telling us:
1. What you think of social media?
2. How you think it will change brand marketing
3. Which brands are doing some really exciting stuff in your market
Please share with us your thoughts, start a new conversation or if you prefer, email us at socialmedia.apac@ogilvy.com.
Here is what some experts whom we interviewed (including Jeremy Wagstaff and Mr Brown) said about it.
if you haven’t already seen this, i hope it inspires you somewhat that this is a new age of information we’re drawing ourselves into, and the old ways.. well, they’ve laid a great foundation, but they’re going to have to be used to giving some of that control over to us - the user.
