Are You Familiar with One Young World?

By Marian Salzman, Saturday, August 15, 2009, at 2:59 pm.

Are you familiar with One Young World? Here is my Twitter transcript of the press conference Euro RSCG Worldwide held for One Young World last week in London. I’m sharing it for three reasons: to show how a press event gets logged via Twitter; to be sure you’re familiar with One Young World, an all-important global millennial offer created by Euro RSCG to make a difference and showcase our commitment to the millennial generation and digital natives; and to kick off a discussion on the validity of logging corporate meetings in Twitter. (What do you think? Have you been tweeting your meetings?).
