LASportsfan Tickets (2011)

LASportsfan Tickets sells tickets to sporting events and concerts in the Los Angeles area. I was hired as the company’s social media director. This was a jack-of-all-trades type of role as in addition to creating and running the social media platforms I also designed and wrote the company’s weekly email newsletter, updated and helped design the website, and ran weekly promotional contests and giveaways.

This was a project-based job to help the company increase its social media presence before its new website launched. After creating the accounts from scratch, I helped the LASportsfan Tickets reach over 500 followers on Facebook and over 750 followers on Twitter before departing.

Practical Social Media University (2012-2014)

For three years I worked as a social media manager, writer and editor at Practical Social Media University. I brainstormed 5-10 articles with the CEO each week and wrote 3-5 of our favorites for the training site and the company blog. I also edited his articles and posts.

On the social media side we focused almost exclusively on Facebook per his request. I posted articles and relevant content from around the web daily and engaged with other businesses to help cultivate our mutual social media growth. During my time at PSMU, our Facebook followers grew by over 300% to more than 25,000.

S.J. Riccobono (2014-Current)

S.J. Riccobono is a family friend and a talented science fiction writer. He came to me to build his website, SJRiccobono.com, to catalog his work to date. I built this website for him back in 2014 and have helped him keep it updated to this day.

Along with the website, we launched a Twitter campaign to help grow his audience. I helped S.J. build and design his Twitter account from scratch, and using my techniques we have built his account up to over 5,500 followers.

S.J. has released three short novels in a series titled the Percival Calendar Mysteries. I edited each of these novels, created the cover art for them and formatted them for publishing through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing.
