If you think social media is all about clever corporate marketing on Facebook or quirky videos on YouTube, you’re missing an opportunity to change your company’s entire culture. In fact, social media can affect how companies innovate, test ideas, market, recruit talent, measure performance, and interact with all their stakeholders. In his discussion “Going Social Now,” Shiv Singh, head of the Avenue A | Razorfish social media practice, will show you how the enterprise can use social media to craft more relevant and useful user experiences.
As part of his discussion, Shiv will discuss how the rise of social media has created a new form of marketing altogether, social influence marketing. He will also discuss research studies that help explain why some online communities are more successful than others. You will walk away from this engaging discussion with user experience strategies to help you design more successfully for the social web.
