Fred Roed... INSPIRING LECTURE!!!

As our world moves into a more digital world it was quite fitting and appropriate that our lecture was based on SOCIAL MEDIA. Fred Roed from Ideate, World Wide Creative and the Heavy Chef project gave us an inspiring and informative lecture on building communities using Social Media. As examples he showed us his videos of his successful projects in partnership with Exclusive Books and Chaos Computers.

Fred's easy going lecture style was a delight to be involved in, his inclusive style of communication/lecturing or presenting allowed us as pupils to ask our questions freely without feeling judged. I certainly learned the importance of  building communities, something which I guess I underestimated previously. The massive success of his projects with the aformentioned companies is evidence of the importance of building communities and keeping the community involved with constant communication from both the business venture and the consumer.

I am sure the whole class is hopeful of another session woth Fred because there are so many more questions I would like to ask, unfortunately an hour is just not enough to pick Fred's brain. Thanks must go to Fred for taking time out of his schedule and delivering such an informative presentation and lecture, also thank you to Mr. Van Der Bank for being so creative as a lecturer e.g. using Fred, informative lectures using technology and multimedia and also his outdoor lectures haha!!!!

Enjoying MAN 201
