On the 27th of September, Unique Digital showcased the new KETTLE® Chips social media campaign live at Social Media Week London.

'Chopped, Diced and Sliced' mirrored what is happening within KETTLE® Chips online social environment at an offline event, showcasing a 360 degree view of the planning, strategy, process and implementation of the new social campaign.

The first half of the event covered KETTLE® Chips social brief, new product launch and objectives giving you a taste of the entire process from the initial concept. This was followed by Unique Digital's creative response, media planning and new innovations within social media.

Want to know what holds the key to global enterprises unlocking up to £800million in economic value on a yearly basis? 

Social technologies have been the fastest adopted form of media in human history, and according to McKinsey Global Institutes (MGI) recent report “The Social Economy: Unlocking Value and Productivity through Social Technologies" we're still only at the beginning of what the potential impact of these technologies could be. Two-thirds of this potential £800million lies within the need to improve collaboration and communication within and across enterprises. Social technologies are no longer merely a 'new media platform', but an increasingly necessary business tool.

MGI’s findings suggest that by fully implementing social technologies, companies have an opportunity to raise the productivity of interaction workers - high-skill knowledge workers, including managers and professionals - by 20-25%!

This October will see the return of one of the leading global multi-platform events in the mobile industry, Apps World, 2-3 October 2012.

As an official partner of Apps World 2012, Chinwag have teamed up with Six Degrees to give you the chance to win two full access passes to the event in October.
