The world of technology has changed so much over the past 15 years. I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when the internet was just kicking off. Creating original content for the world wide web started out as a hobby for me but has recently become much more than that.
After spending nearly six years in the television business I decided to venture out on a new career path. However, I'm thankful for the time I spent in broadcasting. It taught me how to manage a team of people, work under nearly impossible deadlines, and extract information from interviewees. I was also instrumental in creating Facebook & Twitter pages for the last station I worked for. We were ahead of the rest of the market on this and could easily boast about having more "fans" and "followers" than any other station in the area.
I am currently employed at Clear Channel Media & Entertainment and am extremely familiar with all of the advertising agencies here in Nashville. Since I was hired I've been actively changing the way our Account Executives present proposals and promotional recaps. We've started creating interactive, web based versions to wow clients and increase revenue.
