Second Slice Articles
Second Slice was a short-lived online magazine about virtual world marketers. I contributed a three-part series on how in-world fashion designers are, in a number of cases, also top-notch marketers who could eat real-world marketers' lunches - especially when it comes to using social media. Below are the three issues that include my article Our New Competition: Indigenous Fashion Marketers in Second Life.
