Interactive Marketing Expert
Greater Chicago Area
I could call myself a blogger, a copywriter, a social media expert, an organic SEO and PPC specialist, trend forecastor, or an interactive marketing manager, but what it comes down is that I help people and brands connect, communicate, and interact.
I've been involved in the interactive sphere for over 5 years and I've always been ahead of the curve, if I do say so myself (I read the Cluetrain Manifesto in high school). I can help you and your company become more interactive through blogging, social media, organic SEO, PPC, online media planning, viral buzz, and more.
