Social media policy, with all policies, can be a very dull thing to communicate to staff. But Ogilvy China has made it fun and even localized it. The video basically tells staff how not to use Sina Weibo.

byWillis WeeinBusiness, Web
Thomas Crampton is the Asia-Pacific director at 360 Digital Influence for Ogilvy where he leads a team across 23 cities in 15 Asian territories.
