SYNOPSIS
Social networks are nothing more than complex interconnected colonies of human beings, who shape the content and conversations around them in order to fulfill personal, emotional needs. By understanding the psychology that lies behind every post, ‘like’, ‘share’ and comment, we can craft messages that trigger these responses, and use social to our advantage.In this fascinating exploration of the inner, psychological mechanics of ‘social’ Patrick Mulford will examine the FOUR REASONS (yes there’s ONLY four!) that people use social networks, and why the film industry will ultimately need to understand them in order to survive.
