We’re hosting another Honest Talks!
The third instalment in our series of panel discussions will be focused on the topic of “Social media in the workplace”. Tickets on sale now.
We’ll be having a discussion which looks at what people, businesses and brands can get out of today’s social media channels.
With Wetherspoons closing its accounts, and mistrust still ripe following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the topic of social media is firmly on the agenda.
Whether you’re a blogger, a consumer brand or a business offering B2B services, we are now being prompted to look at what we stand to get out of social media and what purpose some of those channels serve in today’s world.
Do tightened privacy regulations mean we’ll see a drop in Facebook advertising? Is LinkedIn finally set to reach its potential? Is Instagram pressurising us to ‘live our best lives?’
We’ve gathered a panel with different points of view for a lively discussion, which we invite our attendees to join, on June 13th from 6pm.
