    Thriving Among Multiple Screens and Divided Attention: Social Media Q&A with Christophe Cauvy

    February 13, 2013 • by
    Part three of a five-part interview series about the challenges and opportunities that social media presents to the brand idea.

    It’s an exciting time to be in marketing. Traditional media channels are making way for a universe of digital options.

As long as marketers continue to serve up relevant, compelling ideas, consumers will open up their lives and their networks to brands. I talk to Christophe Cauvy, head of digital and innovation, JWT Europe, about how brands can maintain share of heart and mind in today’s marketing environment. (more...)
