Summary transcript for 24 Oct 2013 #AWCchat: Digital Communications Trends

Thanks to everyone who participated in our 71st #AWCChat on Twitter, on a few key digital communications trends.

Here is what we discussed:

1)  One of the trends discussed at the AWC National Conference in Springfield / #AWCconf13 was “mobile first.” How does that change your approach to communications?

2)  Another trend is brands creating own media/content marketing. How do you find the talent to create what’s needed?

We filled the whole hour just talking about these two!

Resource links were shared, too.
