On the 23rd of September this year I attended the 13th annual WFT media conference and this years’ theme was “It’s a starter world”. I enjoyed the TED-like presentation format that has been chosen to enable 24 speakers to deliver the deliver the very essence of what excites them in this sphere. The two speakers I enjoyed the most was David Alves and Mike Sharman, both these speakers bio was gotten from the WTF media conference 2011 booklet.
David is a Social Media Community Manager at Aqua Online in Johannesburg. He manages brands on a daily basis that market their campaigns, products and message digitally and specifically through social media channels. For an opening presentation and for his first time doing a presentation, I believe that David a great job at informing the audience about ‘The Truth about Social Media’.
The second last speaker of the day, Mike Sharman, spoke about ‘The one-man brand’. Mike is the owner of an award-winning digital communication agency – Retroviral. He also believes experimentation is the most important aspect of online communication to ensure that his advice and consultation is of the highest standard. I think he was a great because straight after the lunch, everyone was full and wanted to fall asleep, instead Mike came along and ‘woke everyone up’. He had everyone in stitches and clearly brought his point across.
The overall experience was truly unforgettable.
