Youth and social media

Generation 2.0-Youth, social media and the way forward

Join Sarah and Andrew Davis as we talk all things social media. How can youth use social media to mobilize themselves and what is its role in education? Where is social media going and what part will it play in the future of the next generation? How has social media transformed the music industry and what are the lessons to be learnt from this? Andrew is the man to answer all these questions, from working with the BBC and launching radio station 1Xtra to being headhunted by MySpace.com in 2006, where he engineered viral campaigns with celebrities to generate millions of pounds worth of worldwide media coverage, working with such a-listers as Beyonce, Jay Z, P. Diddy, Pharrell Williams and Jennifer Lopez. In 2008 Davis become the only person listed in both the prestigious Media Week Top ‘30 under 30’ rundown of the most talented individuals in the UK and Broadcast magazine’s ‘Hot Shots’ list of media insiders tipped for future success. So this will be a very fun ride!
