“Intentional.” A friend gave me the gift of a word that changed the focus of my career and gave me permission to follow a dream.Yes, I still believe in social media marketing! My passion is helping people develop & leverage 'authentic' voices to tell the stories of their brands through social media/digital content, conversational marketing campaigns. I work with organizations to ensure all programs are integrated, accountable, reflect the brand's core value; develop positioning/branding directions; and digital audits.In another lifetime I was a theatre major and I realized I missed working with people who had the ‘passion of the arts.’ By that I mean people whose work is part of their heart and soul. My ah ha moment was I had come full circle to where I first began in social media - the culinary/food world. So I gave myself the green light to launch a sister company to Bloomberg Marketing. Diva Foodies focuses on supporting chefs, food makers, catering companies, and others in the culinary world by telling the stories that reflect their special POV (point of view), creating campaigns, and developing unique points of brand differences. I recently had the honored to be asked to join the prestigious “Les Dames d’Escoffier International.”Yes, I still work with other industries. However, lessons from Diva Foodies reinforced the importance of bringing a little of “self” into brand social and digital marketing. It's so important because people want to do business with people they know, like and trust. Past corporate positions include: Head of corporate social media integration for a major media company- supported over 70 TV, radio, print properties, talent and senior leadership in using social media as a catalyst to build stronger brand-to-audience relationships.Adjunct professor at Goizueta School of Business at Emory University - taught an innovative management consulting class. http://bit.ly/1hEXeLzI am customer focused and enjoy working in a team environment with people who value coloring outside the line.Need help developing personal branding for executives using social and digital marketing?
