2pm - We, evolved

Networks of influence

The power of the social network - word of mouth, buzz, curation – has never been stronger. This fascinating session examines the structure of influence in a world driven increasingly by social, rather than status-based, opinion.

How does the structure of these influence networks evolve? Can we, the marketer, influence these networks overtly or only covertly? How can you identify, drive and reward influences, gaining advantage rather than taking advantage?
