DESCRIPTION
This is my social media resume as well as manifesto. It shows you what I stand for. It tells you what I'd like to accomplish. The presentation was chosen to become Top Presentation of the Day on SlideShare the 14th of May 2013.TRANSCRIPT
I'll tell you a story.(It happens to be about me).
This is me.
My name is Anna
I have worked in most areas of comms and
marketing for 12 years.
(Because I can't get enough of communication!)
I have a website too.
Check out Communicate [your] Skills if you're
interested.
(I've pointed annarydne.com at the same page for those who think my
name is easier to remember.)
People online have been very kind to me.
It made my day!
One person tweeted that my blog was the best
comms/marketing site he'd seen in a while.
steamfeed.com is one of them. I write for them twice a month. socialmediatoday.com is another.
I've had the privilege to guest post and contribute
on several other sites.
That's nice! (I will pin it to my virtual wall so I can go back and smile at it
when I'm old).
The other day I got a message from Kred telling me I was in their top 1 % of
online in luencers.
I preach
...a genuine voice
...transparency in communication
...the power of emotions
I believe in
honesty
I tell things like they are.
I prefer the truth.
un-wrapped
I'm proud to say...
I keep my promises.
Always deliver.
And don't stab anyone in the back.
My mission is
to build a bridge between
comms pros
marketers
and receivers of the message.
They may be
customers
employees
the public
I do not only think as a communications
professional.
I think as one in the audience as well.
Because that's what we all are.
We are exposed to 5,000 messages every day.
Only the most relevant survive.
Sometimes I tell a story to make my point.
Because stories make people care.
Sometimes I use a bit of humor to connect.
It can be a bit dry.
Like when I use
Henry VIII as a symbol
for down-sizing...
...or pick a photo of Martha to visualize someone who just need a bit of DNA to whip up a white horse in the garage.
I treat communication as entertainment.
(The same principle applies both in
private and public life).
If it isn't funny, people switch channel.
That's the truth.
Boredom kills.
I fight it every day.
