Head of Social Media at Barclaycard

At the immediate future
Social Speakeasy brands
talk* to brands about social
media challenges and
successes. And sometimes
share a few war stories.
Everyone at the Speakeasy
gets to meet their peers and
share insights, information
and best practice in social
media.
* [There is always a terrific guest speaker to
provoke ideas and debate ; and plenty of wine
and nibbles to keep the conversation flowing]
