DESCRIPTION:

All content is not created equal. Far beyond posting images and videos, content needs to communicate something. This is an ever changing combination of intentionality, artful deployment, and practical application. And don’t forget about the impact of pop-culture. In this conversation, panelists will define the ‘content communication’ mentality that is essential to creating effective creative content. There will be examples shown and discussed as well as questions taken from the audience.
