Tyler Hilker’s Experience

• User Experience Architect

  May 2009 — Present (7 months)

• Social Media Planner

  VML

  (Public Company; WPPGY; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  Using VML's proprietary listening tool, SEER, and other tools, I'm able to identify influencers, advocates, & conversation leaders within a given online ecosystem - a relevant slice of the internet, if you will. With that data, I'm able to identify the REAL presence of a brand or product & help the client both fix the issue at hand and then communicate the solution to relevant parties.
  
  Listen. Learn. Speak. For the sake of the client's client.

Additional Information

Tyler Hilker’s Interests:

I enjoy my wife, Amy, my awesome son Gabe (#2 is due in september!), Annie (my guitar) and Mae (my mandolin) quite a bit. I will do almost anything outdoors: grilling, mowing the lawn, snowboarding, mountain biking, Ultimate, disc golf, city & ad league softball, corporate challenge, rock climbing, hiking, camping, backpacking - the list goes on...but stops at golf and basketball. I don't mind them, I'm just really, really bad at them.
