Keith Burtis’s Summary
I have been involved online, and in online marketing in one way shape or form for nearly ten years. I am passionate about the online space, social networks, community building, and very passionate about my work. My focus and specialties are in monitoring, social and business centric solutions, inbound marketing and communications. I am currently seeking employment as well as contract work that leverages my passion and talents in new media and emerging technologies.
With my previous role as Social media manager for Best Buy Remix I was brought in to help grow and foster a community of developers to build upon their newly released API. With structured outreach and driving value back to the targeted audience I was able to take the membership from less than 100 to nearly 1400 in 9 months.
Through the years I have learned what work and what doesn't work in business. Smart investors make educated strategic moves. Hiring me as an employee or contractor for your company will absolutely be a strategic implementation.
Keith Burtis’s Specialties:
Online Community Building, Buzz Generation, Writing, Blogging, Research, Data collection, Creativity. I am very good with communications and distilling complicated problems and theory to manageable tasks and practical solutions.
