PAF Event Web 2.0 Branding: Boldly Going Where Millions are Right Now
At Second Life, 5+ million members have created a visually sumptuous 3D online world where you can catch a movie, flirt with strangers, and spend, spend, spend. (Users exchanged over $1.5 million yesterday alone.) No wonder they're the poster child du jour for what has been alternatively dubbed "New Media", "Social Media" and "Web 2.0". Leaders of global brands like MGM and Coca Cola are convinced that Web 2.0 is going to change the way people interact with brands -- and they are proving it with their ad budgets. How well do you understand New Media? What are you doing to be a part of it? Catch this PAF event and learn the basics about this new phenomenon. You don't have to be a techno-geek. In fact, you'll walk away able to use tools you already have to take your brand into Web 2.0's new frontier.
