Lee Down’s Summary

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.
