What may be one of the last free events to attend on the digital calendar is taking place in Dublin next week.
Tuesday March 2nd at 6pm is the date for the next Digital Misfitz event: Building Communities for your Brand. Digital Misfitz is the brainchild of Suzanne FitzGerald of Moo Pictures. Digital Misfitz, FitzGerald explains, is an exclusive forum bringing together advertising industry and PR professionals and specialists working in the digital media sector by organising various events on topics surrounding digital technology and media.
It is FitzGerald’s sixth event in two years and already numbers are filling up to hear words of wisdom from former RTE reporter turned digital media entrepreneur Mark Little who has more than 4,600 Twitter followers.
The event will also feature Declan Kennedy from Betapond on assisting clients in Facebook strategy analysis and implementation to help companies make new friends.
FitzGerald, a producer, set up Digital MizFitz two years ago when she set up Moo Pictures. She explains that she was aware that a lot of education was needed for agencies and that she set up the forum to provided people with free events to attend, which they could learn from. To date the costs of running events has been kept down by having speakers from Ireland and has been covered by sponsorship.
“It’s more out of interest I do it,†says FitzGerald. Also of importance, in addition to the learning aspect, is industry networking. The quarterly events, which take place in the evening time, are ideal for networking. The theme of the upcoming event she says, was chosen, because “it’s really relevantâ€. “Facebook has really taken off, there is an audience of people are really interested and engage with brands.â€
The Digital Misfitz event will be held on the 2nd March 2010 in the space@Rothco
