- Creatively strategize ways to leverage social media activities

If you really fit the bill, send your resume to job@baileygardiner.com and tell us why you are perfect for the job. But please don’t call us, really.
This is the hot spot in the market and it’s fun being a part of it. If I was to send in my resume, would posting on your blog be a way to get it read? We’ll see…
Paul, I agree, definitely a hot spot. Social media has created a lot of opportunities not only for PR professionals but for consumers who now have a voice in the democratized new media environment. There’s a learning curve for companies; those ahead of the curve are engaging with their consumers via integrated social media channels, there are those who acknowledge social media’s ability to reach consumers but don’t posses the ability to leverage that knowledge, and there are those who would rather wait and follow the successes of others.
I have a blog dedicated to new/social media if you feel so inclined check it out!
