Looking for a client who understands the social media sphere of influence?
Universal Studios has (at least) one such creature.

Cynthia Gordon, VP of Corporate Communications and TV Program Development at Universal Studios, speaking at the Florida Public Relations Association annual conference, described how Universal tapped bloggers, appropriate web sites and YouTube to market their brand and events, such as the popular Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal is also introducing a new Harry Potter theme park, authenticated by J.K. Rowling herself. Gordon said webcasters and fans of the adventure stories were allowed to get a sneak peak at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure, which helped drive word-of-mouth.
