Seattle Social Media Profiles
Welcome to the first posting of hopefully many. Here, you will find interviews and videos with many of the great personalities making noise in the Seattle social media scene.
Social Media in the Emerald City
With the relatively recent creation of SMC Seattle, the Seattle social media scene is abuzz with excitement. It seems every week, new social media events are popping up around our great city, and with each one, there are new people to meet, whether it be professionals handling their company’s social media efforts to personal enthusiasts who enjoy blogging about their hobbies. It’s clear that Seattle’s social media community is in a time of growth. This hasn’t gone unnoticed either, as recently Mashable.com, a blog fully committed to all things social media, wrote a great article about Seattle’s social media scene stating:
Seattle is at the forefront in setting cultural and social trends across the U.S. It’s the home of Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, and other incredible rock legends, as well as the unofficial coffee capital of the world. But hidden within The Emerald City is an active and bustling social media community that is growing with savvy tech professionals hailing from Microsoft, Alaska Air, Amazon, and companies all across the spectrum.
Why Seattle Social Media Profiles?
The community connected to social media in Seattle is growing each day. Currently, SMC Seattle’s Facebook group page has 816 members and an even more impressive 1,850 followers on Twitter. If this wasn’t enough, at a recent meeting on Capitol Hill, SMC Seattle had an estimated 160 people attend, which included a local news crew that covered the event. With the success of SMC Seattle, in addition to the fact that mainstream and corporate America are adopting social media into their communications arsenal, it is only logical that more new faces will be showing up at social media events around Seattle.
With that said, it seemed that the next practical step would be to create a blog dedicated to introducing and connecting some of the movers and shakers in Seattle’s social media community. Ultimately, the idea is that this will serve as a tool to help facilitate relationship building and connect all the great personalities who attend SMC Seattle events, in addition to other events around Puget Sound.
