Talking about talking about what's important

An economy of trust is regaining momentum.

Maintained by word of mouth and dealing in the currency of reputation, this new economy has quickly become as celebrated as an economy of dollars. The power of maintaining social capital is a real and necessary task. This is what I do.

I am a social influence marketer based in Portland, Maine, specializing in getting nonprofits, sustainability-conscious businesses, causes and individual activists noticed and heard both online and off. I sustain and manage reputations -- be it on Facebook and/or Twitter, at parties and clubs, and anywhere else you're talked about. Through my work on the ground as a community organizer in multiple political campaigns, and my travels across the country to report on the habits and interests of the Millennial Generation, I have worked with some of the biggest names in web altruism. And I know first hand: the market is finally changing.

What I do:

For organizations, causes & businesses I help you broaden your influence by

  • finding for you the right approach to navigating social networks
  • identifying peer influencers in and creating connections between you and your community
  • distributing your brand by bridging your on- and offline approaches to outreach
  • enabling you to tune into and navigate how your support-base (and emerging bases) is talking about you on- and offline
  • turning your experiences into resonant, sharable content
  • envisioning and implementing outreach strategies on your audience's terms
