We create social marketing strategy for companies and through usage of our smart targeting tools, have led many social media campaigns to success. In addition, there are various other services which we provide for clients such as creation of their websites - enhancing the content, design and user interface to its maximum capability increasing the site's virality and stickiness. We also create social applications for social networks and help in building business partnerships with other popular services. I myself am also a blogger and my home is online :-) I don't believe that anyone who doesn't live and breathe the Web can call himself a social media expert.
In the past I worked at a few different startups and also served as ICQ’s Marketing and Promotions Manager for four years. I like to think of myself as a creative and “out of the box” thinker. I hold an MBA degree from Tel Aviv University, and a BA in Politics from Brandeis University.
