13.30 - Nick Watt: Social Content Curation
Brands and organisations are constantly being told that they need to become content owners to increase engagement and interaction with consumers. But as many are finding content doesn't come cheap. So how do you create a content rich experience without breaking the bank on viral videos and social games? Content curation may offer some of the answers. Consumers have been steadily moving away from creating content, to curating content, via services such as Storify, Tumbler and Pinterest, providing recommendations to their friends and followers of what they think is exciting, interesting and relevant. This introductory guide explores how both brands and consumers are aggregating the best social content to become part of the content ecosystem.
