San Sharma’s Summary
For about four years, I was Creative Director at Enterprise Nation, the home business website, where I worked as its in-house designer, managing its brand online and in print. I also wrote for its blog and as a copywriter on its website and in its newsletter, and managed its presence on the social web, which brings me to what I’m doing now…
At the moment, I’m helping companies, like Feel Good Drinks, make the most out of the social web. I’m also working with organisations, like Olmec, providing training to help get small businesses onto the blogosphere, as well copywriting for bigger businesses, like MOO. And I’m making websites – real affordable, social media butterflies – for under £1000.
