Joining the Converseon team
September 6, 2007 | |
It has been a slow two weeks here at my PRception, mostly because it’s been a very busy two weeks in my life. I have not only moved to New York (a big step for most; a huge leap for a girl from Alabama), I’ve also started a new job! A job which I am thrilled to announce here on my blog–the place where it all started.
As of this week, I’ve joined the Converseon social media team in NYC as an account executive. I have the pleasure of working alongside Constantin Basturea and Paull Young, two of my favorite PR bloggers from my days as a student (Paull writes at YoungPR and Forward, both great resources for newbies like me.)
As I’ve said before on this blog, and to echo a post written by my good friend MK (thanks, by the way), relationships made through social media really do matter. Time spent over the last year particularly on blogging, social networking and microblogging (that’s Twitter) has not only been an investment in my education, knowledge base and relationships. As it turns out, it has also been an excellent investment in my career. With the help of relationships formed strictly through social media, I was able to land a dream job, doing exactly what I want to be doing, with some of the industry’s best teachers (if I may brag on them a little). Patience, persistence and (yes, Robert) social media really did pay off for me.
For those who don’t know, Converseon is a full-service social media communications agency founded by Rob Key in 2001. Of the many notable things that attracted me to Converseon were its commitment to ethics and transparency, its innovation in the field, and its strategic approach to social media involvement; if anyone “gets it,” it’s these guys. I’ll finally get the chance to put all of that social media knowledge and strategic PR thinking that I learned at Auburn to work as I research, plan, monitor and help implement social media strategies (and conversations) for our clients. It should be fun!

Thank you, Mary (biggest fan, only second to my mom), Stephen, Octavio, Marriage! I think this is the most traffic my humble blog has ever received ;). Thanks for the love.
Auburn is mourning the loss of such an intelligent woman. Best of wishes out in the fast pace world of PR and New York City. Turn a few heads and change a few people’s perception of the stereotypical Alabamian. I always knew you would excel at being a part of the business world.
