Brett Bumeter’s Summary

Brett entered social media building on 18 years of experience in marketing, sales, intelligence, process management, finance, accounting & contracts.

He left the high rise corporate world and an office with a view of a man made pond in Buckhead, for a Cove on Lake Wylie across from Charlotte, NC where a WiFi connection and an international airport keep him connected to the world.
______

In 2005, Brett began working as a business developer, web designer, blogger, & blog marketer. Writing intelligence estimates & strategy recommendations for Army Intelligence & Fortune 500 companies in the 90’s lent itself well to navigating social media. Double majors in finance & accounting + a master’s in tax law didn’t hurt.

He has developed social media campaigns for Izod, Digital River & Nuance makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking. He provides blog consulting services for CEOs of firms around the world, working for clients, increasing customer relationships to attract & hold business through social media.

Brett speaks at conferences in the US helping other businesses, bloggers & web designers adapt their businesses to the web and social media profitably using WordPress as a CMS.

Through Softduit Media, Brett offers web design, WordPress Configuration, and WordPress migration packages, plus social media marketing, SEO, & ghost writing services using industry proven strategies.
As a product evangelist/blogger/trainer, he helps people maximize their effectiveness using great tools like WordPress as a Content Management System, MindManager for brainstorming & business planning, WindowsLiveWriter for effective blog writing on a desktop client & Dragon Naturally Speaking to make writing flow quick & easy.
He builds profitable blogging strategies that evolve every day in an industry that changes weekly, covering consumer electronics, software, social media, solar power, personal finance, politics & comedy.
A Jack of all trades turned professional philosopher.
