[Guest Blog] Thinmartian.com Hosts the DMA on Social Media, Direct Marketing and Making Money #threebie

This is a Guest Blog by Andrew Walker from Thinmartian.com, about their event, Free Think : Free Drink, happening during Social Media Week London.

As part of Social Media Week, Creative Tech Agency Thin Martian are proud to present ‘Free Think: Free Drink’ in association with the DMA Social Media Council.

If you’ve been before, you’ll already know that Social Media Week is all about great social events, so in that tradition Thin Martian are throwing a party to celebrate the silicon roundabout / Shoreditch design scene and show off our social media experience as co-creators of social start-ups Tweetminster & MusicMetric… plus give away funky Japanese designer toys and show the good people of London how we rock it in East London.

Come, party, tweet, win stuff and almost certainly get it on with some sexy young things* We’ve got a kickass panel event, free drinks, industry experts, informal networking and some serious shape throwing on the dance floor as infamous Shoreditch scene DJ Chef Beercan rounds off the night.

We’ll be previewing the results of the DMA Social Media Council’s survey: “The Value of Social Media – What Marketers Really Think” – created in collaboration with Thin Martian (our co-founder Andrew Walker is the research lead for the DMASMC). This is 2011’s biggest survey of marketing professionals specifically investigating the ROI value of social channels – you can be a part of it here http://www.dma.org.uk/sectors/scm-survey.asp

We’re going explore the future of social media’s role in direct marketing, focusing on how to incorporate social media into client work, how to deliver meaningful ROI and revenues and how brands and agencies must engage with the new social media CAP code and ASA code.

Tickets are going fast for #smwldn’s finest mix of informative social media discussions, within a diverse gathering in happening Shoreditch club venue, Concrete.
