Shel Holtz, Scmp possesses expertise in strategic communications, corporate communications, internal communications, social media, media relations and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "I’ve collaborated with Shel on a number of projects over the years and find him to be the top go-to expert whenever there’s an issue related to corporate communications or digital PR. Shel has given a slew of keynote addresses, talks and webinars on how companies can successfully traverse the age of social media and empowered consumers. He’s written seven books and counting, his For Immediate Release podcast is more than a decade old and the most well-regarded listen in the industry, and he happens to be not only well-informed but also one of the most personable professionals I’ve ever come across. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with Shel for years at the Society for New Communications Research (where we were both fellows) and the Social Media Breakfast East Bay (where we were co-founders). If you have the chance to hire or work with this guy, do it! " and "I first learned of Shel Holtz when he hosted a special interest group for communicators on — I'm about to use a word that some of you have never heard before — CompuServe. Shel has been interested in digital communications since the mid-1980s … before most of us had 14K modems. In the early 1990s, he shopped a "Writing for the Wired World" workshop to communication organizations — and couldn't find anyone who thought this World Wide Web thing was going to have any traction. In 1996, he started a consulting practice to help communicators learn to use technology to get the word out. These days, he works for organizations like the International Monetary Fund, Toyota and Robert Half International. He's written six books, he blogs regularly, and his Friday Wrap ezine will let you know all the communication technology news you've missed this week. His podcast, For Immediate Release, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. What can I say? It has been a pleasure for me to co-host a series of Get Clicked, Read, Liked and Shared workshops with Shel this year. Besides being a master of his craft, Shel is a joy to work with. "
