Tristan Schmid’s Summary
Technology is only as effective as the people who use it. I use both traditional and new media to tell engaging stories and share powerful information.
At Angie's List, I created, wrote and produced audio/video podcasts and websites. Now I work for Humane Society of Indianapolis. Managing communications for a wonderful animal-welfare organization is one of my dream jobs (race-car driver being one of the others :).
My volunteer venture AdoptAnAnimal.org — which I created to help find homeless animals good families — is on hold due to my profession, a supercharged version of AAA!
Tristan Schmid’s Specialties:

Tristan Schmid’s Experience
-
Director of Communications and Marketing
Humane Society of Indianapolis
(Non-Profit Organization Management industry)
October 2008 — Present (1 year 2 months)
I share HSI's vision and mission with the community and help our shelter animals in a variety of ways.
I'm developing a comprehensive communications plan and manage HSI's website (http://indyhumane.org), e-newsletter, print newsletter, and social media campaigns; share our stories with the media and the community; promote adoptions, special events, and fundraising; and work with dogs and cats to help them find loving families. And I let stressed-out dogs chill out in my office. -
