Are there really jobs in social media and if so, how do I get one?
With all the self-proclaimed social media pundits, experts & gurus out there, it’s easy to wonder if the only jobs in social media are for consultants or agencies trying to help big corporations “get it.” Well Kelly is living proof that some big companies do “get it” and are willing to put their money where their online mouths are by hiring specialists with expertise at “being social online.”
Join Kelly Feller for the second official Social Media Club Portland meeting where she’ll summarize various corporate social media jobs (hers included) & what they actually entail, explore ways to stand out in this increasingly crowded space, and give some hints to agencies & consultants who are helping companies make sense of the growing social media marketing trend.
Bio:
After having been in “traditional” marketing roles for the last 15 years, Kelly Ripley Feller is now a social media addict and outspoken (read “loud”) proponent of change and marketing evolution. She has marketed everything from organic foods and senior housing to infrared thermometers and computer software & hardware. She’s worked with a variety of big technology companies including Intel, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Intuit, SAS Software, Symantec, and IBM and even some smaller companies & non-profits.
Today she is a Social Media Strategist in Intel’s Social Media Center of Excellence where she works on company-wide guidelines & programs that involve social media marketing. In her dwindling spare time she writes & Twitters avidly about technology, social media, marketing <https://armchairmarketing.blogspot.com/> , business, politics, and Second Life—where she’s been active for over two years. To prove she isn’t just a geeky chick, Kelly is also an enthusiastic live music lover, Phishead, and classical singer who performs at local schools and senior homes. She holds a BA in Communications and Political Science from the University of Michigan.
