Keynote Presentation given by Scot McKee, Managing Director, Birddog, at Technology for Marketing & Advertising (TFM&A), London, 2013 – Social Media Theatre. McKee explains how, in the rush to 'be social', individuals have moved faster than their B2B organizations and brands. Why has that happened and what are the techniques available to bring brands and business back up to speed with social media?
