Social Media Strategist at OMC Social Media Solutions
Vancouver, Canada Area
Transitioning and changing with the times and technology, a career in corporate hi-tech turned into one of personal services, recruitment, and coaching. Self employed during a chunk of that time combined all skills and experience to launch a business, market and engage audiences online, before the idea of Social Media Engagement became a working business term.
As OMC Social Media Solutions principal founder, I bring this to a focus for businesses and individuals wishing to leverage their online presence to increase brand awareness, market penetration, and engaging larger audiences focused upon the clients niche requirements.

Initially hired to document the system back-end, I've also found myself stepping into the community promoting the technology, the client community portals, and reporting on community events to develop site content. The relationship building and connecting people is the most rewarding element.
