I mentioned last month that I will be speaking in August at Ragan’s “Corporate Communications and the Social Media Revolution” conference at eBay’s headquarters in San Jose, California. The event is now listed on the Ragan site.
There will be three keynotes:
- David Knight, vice president of internal communication, eBay; Peter Vogt, senior director of internal communication and employee engagement, eBay; and Catherine Roberts, director of internal communication, eBay
- Steve Crescenzo’s all-new list of winners and sinners in social media has never been more inspirational … and frightening
- Disney Resorts’ PR Chief Duncan Wardle looks at how the social media revolution will change PR’s job forever
I’ll be doing a session on The Social Media Newsroom: News Now. Everywhere. which will take place August 14, from 2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. I hope you can be there.
Please visit my page on Social Media Newsrooms and leave links below to newsrooms you’ve worked on, or that you think are great examples that I could show in my presentation. Thanks!

Congratulations to The Pen Group and my good friend Michael Tangeman on the launch today of the agency’s Social Media Newsroom.
It’s astounding, really, how many agencies talk about social media expertise but do not use either a blog or Social Media Newsroom to post client and agency news, coverage and events. Expect that to change.
My friend, and Eastwick client, Brian Ziel of Seagate Technology let me know the company is looking for a Social Media Manager. This is a great opportunity for someone with social media and communications experience who wants to see how it works in the real world with an industry leader like Seagate. The company is very progressive in social media. (Check out the awesome Digital Newsroom I designed for Seagate when I was at Eastwick.)
Here’s part the job description:
The Senior Manager is responsible for defining, planning and executing social media strategies (including but not limited to: blogs, videoblogs, podcasts, community and social networking sites) in support of Seagate’s corporate objectives. Evangelize and drive social media programs and projects while working with business units, marketing stakeholders, cross-functional teams and geographies. Responsible for management of Seagate digital newsroom and other components of Seagate website and online properties. Demonstrates ability to organize and prioritize a challenging workload, flexibility and speed of execution to capitalize on opportunities quickly. Self-starter who can work with minimal direct supervision and stay on-strategy. Manage both internal and external resources and maintain adherence to corporate media/new media policies. Responsible for tracking, measuring and analyzing social media performance against goals.
