Thanks to Digital Media Week Jamaica #DMWJamaica, I was able to meet in person and physically mingle with a few social media stars that I follow or converse with regularly.
#DMWJamaica is an “unconference” that seeks to share social success stories and highlight Jamaicans excelling in the social media space. The four-day series of events included a panel discussion at the trendy ATL Showroom on Tuesday, June 29, 2016.
RJR’s own Krystal Tomlinson, a star in her own right across multimedia media formats, hosted the panel on The New Rules of Social Stardom. The group of experts included “certified student” @OneRomone, multi-tasker @NicoleMcLarenCampbell, fitness and nutrition expert @IAMKimilaMcDonald and transformational coach @PatriceJWhite.
#DMW Panelists Kimila McDonald, Nicole McLaren-Campbell, Romone Robinson, Krystal Tomlinson (Host) and Patrice White. |
The panel was preceded by an eye-opening keynote by Dr. Anissa Holmes of Jamaica Cosmetic Dental Services. The audience who clearly had a preference for Instagram (IG) was schooled in benefits of Facebook. Dr. Holmes opening discussed her methodology and impressive returns on her investment in the platform.
