JEGI & IAB Social Media Ecosystem ReportAmir Akhavan
JEGI is pleased to share with you the recently released Social Media Ecosystem Report, developed by Amir Akhavan, who covers Technology, Marketing Services, and Interactive at the firm, and supported by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).

As such, this report is intended to do two things: first, to capture a moment in time, to bring its readers up to date on some of the latest developments, as brands become publishers, as advertisers seek ever more finite detail about their targets, and as users reinforce their role as kings of the hill; and second, to provide some observations about where the social ecosystem is likely to go.
