Social Media Week is Back at JWT NY

According to Nielsen’s 2012 Social Media Report, people continue to spend more time on social networks than any other category of sites. Few would understate the importance of social, and to spark a week of discourse and exploration on the topic, New York’s annual Social Media Week kicks off on Feb 19-22nd. We’re excited to announce that once again, JWT New York office will host a dynamic series of events as the SMW advertising and marketing hub.

Social Media Week is a worldwide event exploring the social, cultural and economic impact of social media. Through a network of internationally hosted conferences and online through social networks, Social Media Week is designed to foster networking, collaboration, learning and the sharing of ideas and information.

It will be a week full of insights and learning and we encourage everyone to take part. The Social Media Week website has the full schedule of events and JWT’s dedicated hub page list all the events taking place at the office throughout the week.
