Social Media Week kicks off today and a huge range of exciting and interactive events will be taking place in 20 cities around the world.

As ever, here at 1000heads we will be in the thick of things.  We’re taking part in many events but one we’re particularly excited about is the launch of Nokia’s new social innovation – Agora.

Agora is core to Nokia’s desire to be a listening company and it delivers up to the minute insights into online conversations that its customers are having.

Creative content, both internal and user generated, real-time social conversations, and real-time social metrics are shown on banks of flat screen displays in dedicated social spaces in Nokia offices all over the world.

Agora helps Nokia better understand its customers and puts social listening right at the heart of the organisation.

Take a look.

If you’re at Social Media Week in New York we’ll be showcasing Agora every day, displaying the social content being created around the event and the hashtag #SMW12.  It’ll be at Big Fuel’s office here.
