Representing Bangalore, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Jakarta, Lagos, Milan and New York, this year’s first Social Media Week took Twitter by storm from February 23 to 28, 2015. Social Media Week is a news platform and worldwide conference that discusses—and shares insights on—how social media and technology affect global business, society and culture.
Using MediaMiser’s analytics SaaS, we monitored #SMW15 throughout the conference to determine who, and what, had the most Twitter influence during the week-long event.
