Francesco Lagutaine, Chief Marketing Officer - APAC, CitiGroup
There is an accelerated rush to look at digital channels as the new frontier in marketing. Everyone is experimenting in social media as the latest "must-be-in environment" of marketing communication but the development of the Internet shows that being first is not always an indicator of ultimate success.
