Social Media Week - what it was all about

Social Media Week took place in twelve cities around the world this year, and in case you hadn’t heard about it before, it’s an annual event aimed at advancing our understanding of how social media influences us. It was an incredibly important event for people, businesses and society as a whole, so in addition to social media being one of the services we offer at Equator, we were also very proud to take a prominent position as city headline sponsor for Social Media Week 2011 in Glasgow.

As lead sponsor it was very important to us to lead the discussion on social media - it’s an exciting subject and one that’s changing every day - what was standard practice just a year ago could be considered ancient history today. The world is evolving and social media is evolving with it.

More about Social Media Week

A week well spent

Thousands of people around the world joined us online and in Glasgow this September to find out what social media means. There was a lot to learn from the week’s full schedule of talks, and we enjoyed many interesting debates on where social media has been and where it’s going.

Our experts here led discussions on some excellent subjects, including social media psychology, how social media can affect your brand and how you can use it to communicate and engage with your customers more effectively.

I think we can happily say that Social Media Week was a success here in Glasgow, but if you missed any of it, or just want to see it all over again check out our schedule, or read more about our experiences here.
