Grayson Daughters’s Summary

Do you want your your company in "the media?" Or how about creating timely, interesting content that IS the media now?

Are you aware of the emerging real-time web? (Just ask me!)

Keep in mind "the media," and our definition of it, are changing before our very eyes. You can be part of that change.

Whether in traditional media or otherwise, I can make it happen - with a combination of inside-the-industry experience, networking, ability to target, and the most cutting-edge social media savvy. As I say... I know what to with media nowadays.

There simply isn't another Atlanta-based media consulting company out there with a stronger combination of old and new media expertise.

Grayson Daughters’s Specialties:

I am a journalist/content developer turned media consultant. I bring with me over 20-years of network and corporate experience developing video, print, broadcast and Internet communications.

I am HTML and techno-literate, much moreso than your typical reporter/journalist. I am an early-adopter of most tools, apps and platforms that further new communications trends. I shoot DV and edit.

BY FAR BEST BONUS I OFFER: I graduated Jeff Justice's Comedy Workshoppes, Advanced Level II in 2006.
