Your brand is already there....are you?

On 30 October 2007, Knowledge Resources will present a one-day conference, Brands in the Digital World, that will give delegates insight into cutting-edge and global thinking about brands in the digital arena and show how you can adapt this thinking for your brands.

Increasingly, brands are following or being pulled by their consumers into the digital arena of social networking and user-created content, where the traditional rule of brand marketing is falling by the wayside. Traditional media such as print, television and radio have to compete for space with new media such as blogs, Facebook and Second Life. However, perhaps the most effective marketing campaigns are those that merge the physical and digital worlds.

International and local experts will share their knowledge, experiences and advice on the latest digital trends and concepts.

Marketing in the Web 2.0 era - Warren Griffiths, MD of Gloo Digital Design; chairman of the Digital Forum
