Marketers throughout the world are asking how to start making Marketing and Social Media (Social Networking) fit together.  Area 224, in conjunction with "Creative Genius" Gary Unger, answers the question for Middle East Executives in our Executive Workshop "Social Media & Marketing - 2010 and Beyond."

Why should you learn from these two?
