45 in 45 with Aaron Strout: Lucky # 13

Leslie — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:40:04 +0000

I am over on Aaron Strout’s blog today as # 13 in his 45 in 45 “Experts in the Industry” interview Q&A series. I had a blast answering his questions, and I’ve had even more fun reading the other interviews as they’ve appeared. We have so much to learn from each other. This is another great idea from Aaron, now CMO of Powered, (formerly of Mzinga). Thanks, Aaron!

If you read this post on the new Social Media Breakfast in NH, you’ll be excited to know we have a venue, a date and a theme.

Part of the event is already sponsored but we are still seeking sponsors for the food so that people can attend for free. You can sign up here to attend and/or to sponsor. Do you want to speak to the social media and technology communities on a topic related to the theme “Building Bridges”? Let me know!

In Case Seven Things Wasn't Enough

In case seven random facts weren’t enough to know about me, I was honored to be interviewed as part of Perkett PR’s “Journalists Are People Too” series. the first journalist they profiled was Jennifer Leggio from ZDNet, one of my go-to sources for tech and social media news. You can check out my interview over on Perkett PRsuasion. I had a lot of fun answering the interview questions – thanks go out to Christine Perkett for including me in the series.

Can social media change the face of adverising to help you survive the downturn?

Leslie — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 06:57:34 +0000

Can social media and social advertising help us find a way out of this economic turbulence? I think they can. I wrote about my opinion on social advertising and the new definition of ROI on Mashable today.

Guest Post on Technosailor, SXSW Panel Up for Vote

Leslie — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:55:09 +0000

I was privileged to write a guest post for Aaron Brazell of Technosailor for his Green Tech blogging week. There were so many great guest posters – be sure to go over and check us all out and weigh in on Green Tech issues. My post is on the hidden human cost of government forcing citizens to go green before giving them access to the tools they need to survive the change.

I’m also nervous. I have always wanted to present at SXSW, and this year I finally bit the bullet and submitted a panel idea for SXSW 2009. If you are a member of the SXSW community, and you’d like to hear a panel on “Can Social Media Save The World?” offering concrete solutions to real world problems using social media, please go vote it up. Voting is open until August 29th, 2008.

I have several posts and reviews on the way for Uptown Uncorked this weekend as well, and also will be at NH Media Makers on Sunday if you want to talk about social media with me in person (sorry to have to miss TechSet, Boston. I need two of me sometimes, I swear.)

Also, in the spirit of housekeeping, I don’t mind getting pitched by PR people, it’s your job after all (we’ve been getting a lot of pitches this week), just please make sure it is social media relevant. Hey, I can dream, right? The email for PR pitches and other press contacts is here.
