Monica Hamburg’s Summary
I’m a Writer & Social Media Evangelist. I speak on social media topics, educate and train people on social tools (e.g. on Twitter) and many other fun things.
I love researching - and people - so presenting is something I particularly enjoy and I do as much of it as I can.
My investigations and observations on social media, and its relation to business and connecting, form the basis of this blog, “Me Like the Interweb”. I am a contributor to the popular digital marketing magazine “One Degree”, as well as a actor (in my spare time) and class clown. I am now able to use my dry humour (with little repercussion) for speaking engagements and in my blog “Your Dose of Lunacy”.
Cool tidbits:
* I was nominated as one of Canada’s “Most Influential Women in Social Media” on Profectio’s list
* And my humor blog came in 3rd place in the “Humor” category in the Best of 604 awards!
