We want to extend an invitation to you…

As you know, Eastwick is proud to be hosting this month’s Social Media Club event in our Mountain View headquarters. This month’s topic is one that is near and dear to our hearts and that is… Where and How Does Influence Happen Today?

Everybody knows the old model of communication and the power of influence has changed dramatically, but whom and where are the new influencers, and how can you find them?

We’ve assembled an eclectic panel of experts who can speak to this issue: we’ll explore what technologies are available that can help identify the most influential sources, the role of media, peer influence and how you can use research to find where influence happens. Our own Jennifer Lindsay, director of digital services and social media is moderating the panel which includes:

• Ryan Calo, academic fellow with the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School will cover the use of technology to persuade and influence
• Scott Hirsch VP of  Get Satisfaction will talk to the power of peer influence
• Dominique Lahaix, CEO of eCairn  will talk about applying a scientific approach to identifying influencers online
• Jennifer Leggio, ZDNet social business blogger will weigh in on the role and influence of media/bloggers in the new communication world order
• Jeremy Thomas, Partner and Director of Global Brand Planning at Collaborate will talk about how brand influence is changing

(Tickets are going fast, we urge you to register soon!)

If you’re not familiar with Social Media Club, they are the premier thought leader organization on all things social media. We hope you take the opportunity to:

1. Visit us at our Mountain View headquarters, and
2. Learn more about the changing dynamics of influence.
