Description
This event is part of Social Media Week London, organised by Chinwag, it's made possible thanks to our sponsors: Conversocial.
Social Media and TV have been working together for a while to increase and extend conversation and interaction around programming content, from campaign to commentary to community building.
How can you manage the conversations, what platforms work best? How can you build a community around your programme? Is this something you can manage in house or do you need to work with an external agency? Can you integrate social into your programming content?
We will look at the best practice in the world of TV and social media and lessons we can learn from this to take to the advent of social TV.
