I'm a Strategic Communications professional with a background in Political Communications and in Media Production. My goal is to integrate market research with people and technology; that means I need to be as comfortable with a database as I am writing a press release.
As a Social Media power-user I am always testing the emerging technologies. Follow me at twitter.com/MattHurst to learn more about what these skills mean on a daily basis, and please check out my resume blog at MatthewHurst.com
