·Introduction of the Forum:
Today’s dynamic social internet environment has brought into question many traditional business practices and strategies. No area has suffered greater disruption than marketing where companies faced with a decline in “4P” power have witnessed social Networks create and destroy companies and brands with amazing speed.
The talk will focus on how SNs have achieved this power, the shift from outbound to inbound marketing as well as brand development and the protection of the brand/company name.
