An endless online party Taking a look back at the week's top stories, Jenny Reid reckons social media is a bit like an endless online party that can quickly get out of hand. Do your employees understand professional social media? In her BizCareers column, Juliette Attwell gives advice on how to handle the "Tell us about yourself" question in an interview. On Tuesday we rounded up our interviews with the Loeries Africa Committee by chatting to Editor-in-Chief of Brandwork Nigeria, Dan Oshodin. Millward Brown revealed seven key lessons for brands, based on the performance of brands such as Apple, Amazon and Visa over eight years of the BrandZTM Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands study. All African journalists (African nationals based on the continent) creating content targeting an African audience, are reminded to enter the CNN MultiChoice African Journalist Competition before the entry deadline of 30 May 2014. Lastly, please take note that the 9th Maputo International Advertising Festival has been postponed until further notice. Have a productive week! Cheers!
