Well, we’re pleased to be partnering JJ’s ThisLittleLadyWentToLondon for another great event in Social Media Week in February, and we suggest the content and discussion will be pretty stimulating and hopefully insightful.

Our `Social Case Study 4×4` event on Monday 13th February carries on our aim to provide event content that you don’t normally get to see. It is often said to me that real social media campaign case studies are very rarely shown. Well we have got 4 people from varying agencies to open some up to a privileged audience, who will get the opportunity to quiz, challenge and seek knowledge from the assembled panel.

The angles of social media use will be interesting; whether you see Social Media as a tool for PR, Buzz, WOM, Analytics, Research, Technology, Web Marketing or pushing Creative boundaries – we hope you’ll be intrigued by the angles each of our speakers come from:
