FGI Toronto threw a very chic networking event, #fgisocial. A highlight being a keynote presentation by Alan Gee, #fgisocial was hosted at HUGO Boss. Guests networked over good food and vino, and the crowd included fashion mavens, art directors, media, social media experts, pr executives and business owners.
We all went to hear advertising veteran Alan Gee, award winning creative director, Juno Award Winner and Partner at BLAMMO International. If you're looking for someone qualified to speak about rolling out effective social media campaigns, Alan Gee is it. Toronto can be a tough crowd, but he came prepared and brought up great examples from his own award-winning work and the Cannes Lions Screener Reel.
A man who obviously gives great thought to the nuances of human communication, it was by far the most insightful presentation I have seen so far regarding the use, effect and results of social media.
