I'm writing to you because I think we should be friends.

(and by friends, I mean you should hire me to be your Social Media Marketing Associate -let's not mince words here)

I feel like I embody some of the core values that make Metric what it is. That is to say, I'm a super-driven gal who also happens to be completely obsessed with social media marketing.

Thus far I've managed to turn that drive into a ton of personal opportunities: I have a crazy-strong presence online, I speak regularly at Red River College about Social Media and Personal Branding, I was a panelist at the 2014 Manitoba Blogger's Conference. I've also worked with the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition, Vine Multimedia, and Direct Focus Marketing Communications.

I've been able to create these opportunities for myself because I'm passionate about what I do, and I don't believe that it's possible to succeed online unless you're passionate about succeeding.

When I think about social media marketing I tend to refer to the 36 Social Media Rules of Engagement, from t2 Social's blog:



Because that's the thing about online marketing -your audience can tell when you don't care. When your Facebook page hasn't been touched in weeks, your Twitter responses stagnate, and your LinkedIn profile never goes anywhere, people won't see the value in connecting with you online because, obviously, you aren't online.

(At least not in the meaningful way that brand need to be in this day and age.)

I believe in creating and maintaining interesting and valuable social media presences, and I think I could do a wicked job of it at Metric.

So give me a shout (alyson.shane@gmail.com works best) because I'd love to have a chat about how I can be a valuable asset you, and to your clients.

Sincerely,

Alyson Shane

PS I also promise to never do this:
