Social Media: Teenage of the Species
Event Info
Description
This event is part of Social Media Week London, organised by Chinwag, it's made possible thanks to our sponsors from Nokia.
In a very literal sense teenagers are different, aside from hormones their pre-frontal lobes are still forming. Studies indicate that social may actually be altering the physical make-up of the brain. What impact is this having on behaviour? On relationships? And what impact will this have on brands, their marketers and the relationship with the generation of social media natives?
