Social Media Week NYC

This week is jam packed with all things social media in NYC, not surprisingly, since the week has been dubbed Social Media Week NY. There is not a panel out there, that  you can’t find in the city this week to quell your social media appetite.

Tomorrow will be a landmark day in a variety of ways, not only are the Shorty Awards taking place tonight, they are followed up bright and early with SMBNYC4 in the morning…if you have your tickets already, you are in luck, as the event is sold out-the seats went like hotcakes! The good news is, we will be live streaming the event so if you don’t have a ticket, you can still be part of the event.

If that weren’t exciting enough, tomorrow night’s encore is Twestival. If you haven’t heard of this yet, Twestival is a global event happening in 100+ cities to come together via social media to rally around Charity:water.

This video from Charity: Water Founder, Scott Harrison, will give you an idea of what this is all about, pretty exciting stuff going on here: Charity: Water

If you haven’t already purchased your ticket, please visit the site: http://twestival.com and find your venue. This is one event you want to be a part of. If you are attending the breakfast see below for additional details.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Awareness, quality, loyalty are all part of traditional priniciples around branding. Do these traditional principles remain when you extend your brand to an online audience? What does this mean for personal branding? On the interwebs, brand building is user-driven and extends beyond these, but doesn’t rule them out. How do you build a brand that is sustainable and fluid for you and your brand?
