Susan Hanshaw’s Summary

My work at Inner Architect brings 20 years as a direct marketing professional to my role as a social media marketing strategist. I am looking for opportunities to work with businesses to leverage the amazing opportunities available today using blogs, Facebook and Twitter as vehicles for marketing, direct to consumer sales, business development, customer service, and reputation management.

I have been a blogger since January 2007. Having built my company's integrated blog and web site, I understand both the marketing and technology sides of social media. My direct marketing experience includes developing and managing multi-million customer contact strategies on both the client and vendor sides. I have worked in a variety of B2C and B2B industries; ranging from companies such as Bank of America, Home Depot and Victoria’s Secret to hundreds of small niche businesses.

I am a frequent public speaker and trainer on Web 2.0 and social media topics and a contributing writer for Plaintiff Magazine. The author of two self-help books, Inner Architect and Unleashing Your Soul, inspirational speaking and writing are personal passions.
