Ari Herzog's Summary
I am a social media marketing and communications professional, actively seeking a full time position. I'm self-motivated as a researcher, analyst, and innovator of policies and strategies to foster external and internal stakeholder engagement and enhance the use of digital tools.
My professional experience since 2008 includes optimizing content management and social media tools and techniques for organizations. I worked as an online community manager for SocialMediaToday.com, taught social media marketing coursework at North Shore Community College, advised nonprofits on the benefits of creating Twitter and Facebook accounts, and been acknowledged for internet advocacy and online coalition building in publications including TechRepublic.com, Poynter, MSNBC, Fast Company, and Federal Computer Week.
Internationally recognized in online media, I began blogging in 2004, joined Facebook in 2005 and Twitter in 2008, and ran online political campaigns since 2009. I routinely contribute articles to blogs worldwide. My own blog is visited by nearly 15,000 people every month.
With over 12 years of experience in information technology, journalism, and government, I've worked in the public sector since 2004 and I was recently re-elected to the Newburyport City Council, chairing its Public Utilities Committee and also siting on the Budget and Finance Committee.
I'm involved with a number of organizations, as President of Social Media Club Boston, Secretary of the Massachusetts chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, and a board member of the New Prosperity Initiative.
I earned a Master in Public Administration from the Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University. I also have a bachelor in sociology from Worcester State University.
