July 2009 — Present (6 months)
Dane Findley is Social Media Director at Partners Trust. Dane worked as a full time newspaper reporter and photographer before returning to university to obtain a masters degree in Counseling Psychology where he learned communication and active-listening techniques. Now, he advocates for relationships and client care — both during and after a transaction. Said Dane, “one of the favorite parts of my job is to help our team of talented associates create their own content — so that they can stay in touch with their cherished customers and remain helpful between transactions. For me, it’s a fun challenge: to create relevant content that provides clients with value, while at the very same time making it interesting and entertaining.”
