SMW London Round-up: The Future of Social Search

Social Media Week London generated so much coverage that it's taken us a little while to pull together all the information. Our first review brings together the video, slides, pictures and coverage from The Future of Social Search hosted by i-Spy Marketing.

The event investigated how Search and Social fit together, influence one another and how Facebook Advertising will be the next big thing.

Facebook offers an opportunity to deliver highly tailored and targeted brand and direct response campaigns to audiences of any scale, from a single town all the way up to global communities. CPC and CPM are typically very low, and the micro-targeting against demographics is very effective at acquiring new customers. This complements typical search-based campaigns, which often target existing customers.
