Drawing upon his experience overseeing the digital strategy for some of the biggest brands in the world together with case studies from Digg, Qype and other respected brands, Alex will explore these topics and more by looking at how customers, communities, and brands will intersect and how online behaviours will dictate how companies market their brands in the next few years.
