Twitter overview and who (brands) is using it effectively in the fashion industry.

1. Building Social Media

2.  Connecting to your online community
and building a tribe!
 “Tribe management is a whole different
way of looking at the world.
It starts with permission, the
understanding that the real asset most
organizations can build isn't an
amorphous brand but is in fact the
privilege of delivering anticipated,
personal and relevant messages to
people who want to get them.
It adds to that the fact that what people
really want is the ability to connect to
each other, not to companies. So the
permission is used to build a tribe, to
build people who want to hear from the
company because it helps them
connect, it helps them find each other, it
gives them a story to tell and something
to talk about. “
