I am delighted to announce that our first book, Digital Advertising: Past, Present and Future is close to going into production – just a couple of tweaks and it will be ready.
The book itself is our first foray into publishing and represents a collection of essays from Socials covering the past, present and future of digital advertising. The full line-up can be found below.
If you are interested in getting an advance peak into the book, I suggest that you grab both issue 23 of Contagious Magazine which features Flo’s essay or issue 15 of Directory which features Sam and Dave’s essay – both are due out in the next couple of weeks.
If you want to be one of the first to know when the book is ready, please e-mail me @creativesocial.com or send a message to @creativesocial.
