It's here the first Social Media Club event in Wellington!!
We thought we'd kick the club off in Wellington style- blending Fashion, Politics and Social Media.
Who better to share some insight than Wellingtons own Jack Yan.
A little on Jack

Jack Yan founded Jack Yan & Associates, one of the world’s first virtual firms, in 1987. His company is based or represented in over a dozen countries worldwide. Among his company’s interests are business consulting, imaging, software and media, including the fashion magazine brand Lucire, published internationally in print and online. He writes on topics, ranging from branding and business responsibility to fashion and typography, in numerous publications worldwide and is a regular international speaker.
His personal site is at www.jackyan.com, and features a highly regarded blog. He is a director of the Medinge Group, a think-tank in Sweden devoted to cutting-edge branding. He was a contributor on the books Beyond Branding (Kogan Page, London, 2003) and Nation Branding: Concepts and Country Perspectives (ICFAI Press, Hyderabad, India, 2009) and authored Typography and Branding (Natcoll Publishing, 2004). In 2010 he announced his bid for the Wellington mayoralty.
So come join us for a few drinks, a few jokes and insight into Social Media from Jack. It will be a good night
