"Wilson was a volunteer Mentor on Social Media at a recent fund raising conference I attended. He gave me a thorough overview of the most commonly used social media outlets, explained the benefits of each, how they worked, and how to get started using each outlet. Wilson also laid out an actionable plan that will help me and my non-profit utilize these powerful tools and engage with our stakeholders. As someone who is completely ignorant of these social outlets, he helped me to feel comfortable and ready to utilize the information he provided to push my non-profit in a positive and an even more fiscally productive direction."
Raechel Ratliff, WEH Camp Director October, 2010
"I
must admit (despite 15 years in Marketing as a new
product development specialist) that my partner and I did not know
much about social media ... what it was, where it came from, and how
we could make it work for us as we launch our new business. Working
with Wilson Kerr
was fantastic. We get it now. Thanks to Wilson, my
partner and I have a full understanding of the power of social media. Most
importantly, he helped us to define specific action items that we can
employ
now and as our business begins to take shape to harness the power of
these
free tools. He made it simple by pairing down the confusing social
media
landscape into the actionable pieces most-relevant to our needs and
explaining how to setup each element. Beyond helpful."
-Stephanie Connaughton April 2010
"Wilson spoke with our Swim
Across America marketing team for several hours and, during that time, helped
us develop a broad understanding of the benefits of social media as a whole,
and a more specialized understanding of the tools that would help our
organization use it to our advantage. Wilson talked to us about our goals,
capabilities and current practices as well as how we should move forward using
the technologies that would work best. He was immediately able to say
"You need better analytics so you should use bit.ly,"
or "you are doing great things with Facebook. Here is why you should start
using twitter more and this is what you should do." After
our conference, our team left with a clear plan of action, an understanding of
the "world" of social media and the utilities that will help us
maximize its effectiveness for us."
-Blake Chanowski, Program Director Swim Across America, Inc. June, 2010
