Social Media Week 2012

It’s Valentine’s Day? Oh yes, of course! It’s also Day Two of Social Media Week and the line up for the rest of the week is looking fantastic. SMW takes place all over the globe, but there is a host of great events taking place in London town on a wide variety of topics, such as social content, social customer service and the psychology of online influence, to name but a few.

We are delighted to announce that immediate future’s fabulous Managing Director, Katy Howell, will be sharing her expertise this Thursday. Katy will be speaking at Email and Social Media: The New Rules of Engagement, Panel Discussion hosted by Constant Contact. This event is taking place from 11am to 1pm at the main Hub for this year’s Social Media Week London, The Design Council.  The discussion will centre on the importance of email and social within the overall marketing mix and how the channels can both be best leveraged to develop businesses. Katy will be sharing and debating her views on these channels, alongside a host of other great speakers.

Other members of the immediate future team will also be milling around towards the latter end of SMW. We will certainly be at the Londata II: Taming the firehose – putting data to work in social media, so do pop along and say hello if you are about.

If you aren’t able to make a visit to the Capital, don’t panic! You can still catch the events via live stream and soak up the social media knowledge from the comfort of your office chair or couch at home.

You might also want to download the SMW Mobile App so you can favourite events, speakers and venues, register for events and connect to content and SMW realtime infographics. Enjoy the rest of the week and don’t forget to follow/use the #SMW12 hashtag!
