The Kat’s Out of The Bag

I’m happy to let everyone know that today Social Media Explorer welcomes back Kat French. For those of you who are long-time readers of SME, you’ll remember Kat was my first hire at Doe-Anderson and served that agency well as social media manager for several years. She’s most recently been at Louisville digital marketing agency Makespace, which I hear isn’t all that upset with me for convincing her to come back. (Thanks/Sorry guys!)

Kat brings a great deal of not just experience as a digital strategist and practitioner, but an uncanny ability to get stuff done. As you can imagine, her primary role will be to help my juggling-too-many-balls routine become more organized and efficient. She’ll be SME’s operations manager until we can come up with a more clever title.

And yes, for those of you who remember Kat’s insightful and helpful posts of the past, she will again be a regular contributor to the blog. More importantly, she will now be primary in charge of managing the community at Exploring Social Media to ensure our Q&A and learning subscribers are more optimally served. So if you haven’t considered joining yet, perhaps now is a good time!

Kat will also be heavily involved in Explore events and will be in Minneapolis, Aug. 16-17. If you’re coming, you’ll meet her. If you’re not yet registered, jump over and do that!

Welcome back, Kat!
