Sally Walker’s Summary
Technology journalist and writer, designer, social media marketer, SEO consultant and branding manager based in the UK but working Globally.
Working within the IT industry since 1995 I enjoy and embrace new technology whether it be through journalism, writing, social media management, branding or design.
Social Media Marketing and Branding Management has been a key role I enjoy and have had a great deal of success in. Using Social Media and various other forms of networking communities I am able to communicate vital information to companies regarding not only public perception and reviews of their products/services, but also latest trends and competitors comments. By carefully listening to the latest topics and comments I can then determine with what urgency this matter needs to be responded to or delivered to the company. I also use my knowledge of branding and identity to help give businesses, no matter how big or small, the exposure they deserve.
As a designer and developer, I have been developing applications, modules and plugins for such scripts and websites as Wordpress, SMF, Facebook, MySpace, phpBB and more, I have also designed 100's of websites, blogs, logos, full re-brands and communities.
As a writer and journalist I have had featured articles published in Reuters, USAtoday, FoxNews, ABC Magazine, Chicago Sun Times, BlogNosh Magazine and more.
As well as being a successful entreprenaur/mumpreneur running businesses right from start up to sale.
