Your brand is already there....are you?

Increasingly, brands are following or being pulled by their consumers into the digital arena of social networking and user-created content, where the traditional rule of brand marketing is falling by the wayside. Traditional media such as print, television and radio have to compete for space with new media such as blogs, Facebook and Second Life. However, perhaps the most effective marketing campaigns are those that merge the physical and digital worlds.

International and local experts will share their knowledge, experiences and advice on the latest digital trends and concepts.
