Paull Young’s Summary
I am an intuitive online communicator with a passion for Public Relations and social media. I live within the social media vortex and I develop expertise across all platforms by getting involved in the community. Whether it is blogs or podcast, Facebook or LinkedIn, Twitter or Second Life - I live it, breathe it and love it.
I'm currently working as a Senior Account Executive for social media communications agency Converseon in New York city. We are a leading full service social media agency working at the cutting edge of innovation.
My blog 'Young PR' is one of Australia's top 100 blogs and one of the top 150 marketing blogs in the world. I also produce the Forward Podcast (a leading PR/Marketing podcast) twice a month in my role as Director of Forward Podcast.
I have a passion for public speaking and I am always available for speaking engagements. I have presented to student and business groups across six countries in three continents and my speaking has received glowing recommendations from groups ranging from the Australian Defence Force to New York City Marketing Executives.
