2012香港社交媒体周第二日报道
February 14th, 2012
还没从Facebook鸡尾酒开幕派对中缓过神来的朋友们，要注意了！第二届香港社交媒体周已经正式拉开帷幕，从2月13日至17日，近40场精彩纷呈的专题讲座将集结国际、港台及内地的数百名专家，分别就各自领域内涉及的社交媒体应用发起讨论。 小雨的清晨，抵挡不住大家对社交媒体周的热情，这一点从上座率就可见一斑。作为第二届香港媒体周的首个研讨会，主办方特意安排了深具意义的blue bra girl案例作为引子，找齐来自媒体、商业、技术共4位“专题研究员”各抒己见。从一张手机拍摄的女子被埃及军方当街袭击以致衣衫不整的现场图片，到埃及数十年来首次多达1万人的女权游行，整个快速传播的过程中功不可没的当属facebook和youtube。所以，社交媒体对国际性运动的影响力大不大？ 另一个讲座，你必然有兴趣——社交媒体营销中的名人合作，来自alivenotdead的Raffi主持了这场互动。有效的名人账号已经成为Twitter和微博上的“当红炸子鸡”，各大商户自然明白利用他们来宣传品牌和产品是最为合宜了。来自Favspot和Glamabox的两位大当家分享了很多创业过程中与明星合作的经历，给大家的忠顾是：1）找对名人 2）植入对的信息 3）记得评估他们的价值！
