I’m extremely excited to announce that on October 31 I’ll be joining the Wildfire Interactive client services team as Social Media Strategist.
In my new role I’ll be working with brands and business to help develop and evolve their social media marketing strategy. I’m excited to get to use the Wildfire platform to do so. The company provides an impressive set of sophisticated technology that power a wide range of marketing tactics. The technology is built for brand marketers to easily create engaging promotions inside of Facebook and online, without custom or expensive development.
For me, professionally, the move is different but familiar. Wildfire is a software company and I’ve spent the last two years in PR at Boston communications agency Cone. However, the role is still as a social marketing strategist and in client services. I’ll be able to continue the work that I started at Cone, helping brands use new media to find creative solutions to business goals. I’m incredibly excited to have access to Wildfire tools to do so.
The move ends my time with Cone, an agency where I spent two years cutting my teeth on some amazing accounts with bright, impressive and hardworking colleagues. For me moving to an emerging tech company that is blazing a trail in new media marketing satisfies two of my professional appetites. It will be hard to say goodbye to Cone and all the amazing people I’ve been able to learn from over the past my time there.
The new position will also send me into the heart of the tech world. Wildfire’s offices are located in Redwood City, California near the Facebook offices and other giants of the tech and social media world. I’m excited to live in beautiful San Francisco and get to know the bay area just as I’ve gotten to know and love Boston in my three years here. I’m bummed to leave my network of friends in Boston. The people here have changed my life and I know without them I wouldn’t be where I am. I’m equally pumped to join my friends in the bay area and build new relationships.
If you’re reading this and want to connect in Boston before I leave please let me know!
