George Dearing’s Summary

I’ve spent the last 15 years helping companies solve business problems with the right blend of marketing and technology. That experience is the foundation I use to consult with and write about how organizations of all sizes are affected by emerging trends in software and social media.

I’m also lead writer for Information Week’s Content Management Blog and write about social computing and enterprise 2.0 for other web communities like Social Media Today and The FastForward Blog. I’m also anchor publisher of The Enterprise Content Management Network.

Most of my past employers and clients have been early-stage startups, software companies, and other global 5000 organizations. My responsibilities were usually retooling marketing strategies, increasing brand visibility, and helping sales sell.
