Doug Brown’s Summary

Over 20 years general business experience, mostly in various aspects of sales and marketing. After several colleagues in the recruiting field (who are amongst the heaviest users of social media) asked for help with using social media, it occurred to me that there was a real need for social media marketing services, particularly with small/medium sized businesses whose owners & managers do not have the time or resources to learn how to leverage these platforms. I have been studying the field around the clock ever since and now am working with clients throughout Southern California, helping them to utilize social media to market their products and services.
