“Brand evangelists are like allies:” Starcom MediaVest’s Finnegan

Sean Finnegan, chief digital officer, Starcom MediaVest Group spoke about the dichotomy of control that brand owners face in today’s age where technology allows consumers to initiate a two way conversation with brands which comes with its own risks. Finnegan began his presentation with an example of user generated content that was created centered on Coca Cola.
