SXSW 2008

I’ve been in PR for almost 7 years now, and have been running my own business, Type A Public Relations for 5 of those.

My background is traditional PR, but I’ve got a mile wide geek-streak, which means that I spend time playing with pretty much every social media tactic out there. What’s good about that is that I look at everything with an eye towards “how can I use this for my clients?”, and I won’t use anything for them that I am not sure will get me the kind of results I’m looking for.

I’m planning on telling you about some of the neat ways companies are using social media or PR, how “PR 2.0″ works, (as well as how it doesn’t), and take a look at some successes and failures in this world. If there’s anything you’re interested in hearing about specifically, please let me know.

If you’re interested in finding me on other social networks, you can follow me on Twitter, check out my Facebook profile, take a peek at my Flickr pictures or just look at my FriendFeed to get (almost) the whole picture in one place.

I’m looking forward to sharing what I know and learning more as we go along!
