Poker PR is pleased to announce that our M.D., David Mitchell, will be a panellist on the ‘Our Community Is Our Brand’ panel at the rapidly approaching International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza. The panel will discuss digital communities, how and why they have changed their business and what the future holds.
David will be drawing from his many years of experience to voice his opinions on social networks, digital media, and all the other avenues that are currently available to create a community around a brand.
Also sitting on the panel are:
Callum Negus Fancey, 20 year old promoter of Lets Go Crazy, the events are aimed at 14 to 16 year olds and continue to go from strength to strength.
Denzyl Feigelson, founder of Artists Without A Label, bridging the gap between independent artists/labels and digital stores such as iTunes.

Konrad Von Loehneysen, MD at Ministry of Sound Recordings Germany, the German division of the ever popular brand.
Susie Lucas, Head of Mobile, UK, at Universal Music, delivering music and entertainment to mobile devices. TBC.
This is the first year David will be speaking at the IMS and we know that with his enthusiasm and experience it will not be the last.
How things “change”… (Top Word of 2008) The Global Language Monitor has announced that “Twitter” is the Top Word of 2009 in its annual global survey of the English language. The survey examines the internet, the media, and an electronic database to estimate how many times certain topics are brought up.
Founder Paul Payack said: “In a year dominated by world-shaking political events, a pandemic, the after effects of a financial tsunami, and the death of a revered pop icon, the word Twitter stands above all the other words.”
This is great new for us at Poker, especially the social media department as this is proof, if needed, that Twitter continues to head up the portals for news and information.
We’ve been saying this at Poker for a while that Twitter would soon become as powerful as other search engines for discovering the latest happenings on the net – and it’s happening right before our eyes.
Twitter has shifted the balance from being a broadcast tool, where users tell the world about what one had for breakfast, to a portal for breaking news and information.
According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, no longer is the day where its micro blogging format is used exclusively for “personal musings”, but “people are witnessing accidents, organising events, breaking news… and so much more”. “The fundamental open model of Twitter created a new kind of information network and it has long outgrown the concept of personal status updates”.
