Social Media – Opportunities & Challenges

03.09. – 04.09.2015 / Eyes & Ears Academy, Munich
Eyes & Ears of Europe

Post, like, share – whether during breakfast at home, in the lunch break at work or at night in front of the TV with friends – Social Media are used by millions of people anytime, anywhere and across language barriers. Everybody and everything is public! And often faster than any news programme. Thus, the topic of Social Media is more significant than ever.

The social media have drastically changed the way we communicate. The User 2.0 in particular influences what becomes popular through posts, comments and shares. This poses opportunities as well as challenges for media and communication companies.

The event organised by Eyes & Ears of Europe and the Disney Channel focuses on the following questions: How can companies present themselves successfully in social networks? What content is suitable for social media? And what content is appropriate for which platform and for which use? How can media and communication companies administer their content and maintain an overview? And how should public user questions, suggestions and criticism be handled?

The two-day Eyes & Ears Academy offers answers to these questions. Using examples and practical exercises, participants learn what and when they should communicate, and what they shouldn't do.
