On the darkside, presentation from Sam Cookney at Social Media in a Corporate Context

DESCRIPTION

Dark sites are becoming an increasingly important part of a company’s crisis communications plan. Pages, microsites, and whole 'command and control' crisis centres are increasingly ready and waiting for potential disasters to strike. Because when crises erupt, the communication often evolves at a frightening pace, with that pace being driven by social. This session, led by NASDAQ OMX, looks at dark sites in general but also on building in proactive social tools with those sites so crises-related conversations can be monitored, steered and hopefully contained.
