JWT NY Serves as Cornerstone of Social Media Week

More than 3,000 attendees, 94 speakers (including one professional wrestler) and 19 events—this was the tally for what unfolded at JWT New York during Social Media Week (Feb. 7-11) #SMWNYC.

JWT was firmly in the center of the conversation as industry leaders discussed the role of social media in business, media and communications. Panels covered a broad range of subjects ranging from gamification to the future of location-based marketing to the role of storytelling using digital channels.
