SPOS #165 - Media Hacks #14

Welcome to episode #165 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Another fine mess that these guys have gotten me into. This is the new episode of Media Hacks and features some great conversation and some coloured language (so, it's not work safe). We discuss everything from buying ads on viral videos before they break big and how things spread (and how fast they go away). Do brands still need to worry about what people are saying about them online? Enjoy the conversation...
