In order for brands to succeed in today's socially connected world, they must think like publishers and act like media networks.

  • Author Avi Savar is a frequent media commentator on social media, branded content and marketing and was recently named the Jury President of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity's new Branded Content & Entertainment category
