Adrian Pittman

  • All the technologies in development today will be available as a platform for the future generations.
  • When you hire an expert, make sure you give them the resources (and the freedom) to do their job.

Ken Burbary

  • 93% of customers expect your brand to have a social media presence
  • customers want your brand to be involved
  • include consumers i how you make your products better
  • everyone is an influencer – every interaction counts

Amber Naslund

  • The Five Faces of Community Management
    • Anthropologist – figure out who customers are, and how we should interact with them, and how to help them make connections with people that matter to them
    • Bridge Building – liason for customers to connect with anyone inside the company plus internal bridge building of tearing down silos between departments
    • Diplomat – knowing how to edit, handling crisis
    • Director – Setting the scene, figuring out what the story is and helping actors to figure out their parts
    • Builder – need bricklayers and carpenters, figure out what works and what doesn’t, bring feedback to company and results back to community

Damian Rintelmann

  • Your website is not a mousetrap – its for interacting with visitors
  • Offline customer engagement just as important as online
  • Visitors need to be able to take your content and share it outside your website walls
  • Opportunities to share, focus on goals, measure and make small adjustments.

Marcel Lebrun

  • Marshal McLuhan – “media itself has a social effect because it changes things”
  • Community manager is about adding personality to your brand
  • There’s no single owner of social media – it has a more broad set of purposes and uses
  • Social media is more measureable than traditional media

Business + Technical Product Management

My sweet spot is at the intersection between technology and business. I love to manage and develop products, market them, and deep dive into technical issues when needed. Leveraging strategic and creative thinking to problem solving is when I thrive. I have developed and marketed products for a variety of industries and companies, including manufacturing, eCommerce, retail, software, publishing, media, law, accounting, medical, construction, & marketing.
