I’m happy to share the slideset from my recent workshop for the Women’s Professional Networking Group (WPNG) on social networking. Titled “Using Social Media in Your Company”, we talked about ways social media can be used for business…and if it’s even a good idea. Enjoy!

Kelly Rigotti Consulting is on the move! That’s right, I’ll no longer be able to market myself as an American social media strategist in France…instead, I’ll need to tag myself as Seattle based.

As would befit a social media strategist, I’m using the online tools at my disposition to share awareness of my job search and raise my profile amongst my target companies. For example, the below comes from my brand new “Hire Me” page:

Does your company need to fill a Social Media Strategist or Digital Marketing Manager position, in house or as a consultant? Look no further…I’m available! I am currently seeking new opportunities in Seattle, WA in the areas of social media and web 2.0 marketing, digital communication or community management. I will be based in Seattle and available as of January, 2012.

Of course, I’ve also shared the news on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, not to mention the brand new Google+. I’ve also created a downloadable online version of my resume.

Where else should I tell people that there’s a new digital strategist for hire in Seattle?

I’m happy to share the slideset from my recent workshop for the Working Women’s Network of Grenoble (WWNG) on LinkedIn. Titled “Link In to LinkedIn”, we talked about 8 ways to optimize one’s LinkedIn profile for effective networking online. Enjoy!

I’ve created a new version of my popular Twitter tutorial “Twitter: From the Basics to Creating a Strategy”. You can view it above or find it on SlideShare.

Of all the social networking sites out there, you know you should be on LinkedIn. Once upon a time you even created a profile for yourself!

Whether you’ve long been active on LinkedIn, or have just put creating a profile on your “To Do” list for the New Year, now is a good time to get going with LinkedIn again. Come to the WWNG meeting on March 17 and learn how to participate actively and effectively in one of the world’s most powerful professional networks.

Learn:

• How to get your profile to 100% completeness
• If you should share your Twitter stream
• Which LinkedIn groups are right for you
• …and more!

We’ll be meeting, as usual, at 6:45 at the Grenoble Ecole de Management.

Hi All!

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be doing another day long workshop on social media marketing and communication with the American Chamber of Commerce on March 15, 2011. Last year’s workshop (held at corporate sponsor BonitaSoft‘s offices in Grenoble) was a big success and I’m looking forward to this workshop as well. The workshop will be held in AmCham’s corporate training center near Lyon. For more information about the content of the workshop, check out the flyer (in French) or my page about the workshop content.

To register, contact AmCham at rhone-alpes@amchamfrance.net or by telephone: 04 37 58 01 00.

I’ve been asked to participate in a panel discussion and conference organized by the MSc Management Consultant students at the Grenoble Graduate School of Business. I’ll be speaking on the question of how social networks are becoming mobile social networks. My co-panelists are Sharon Crost and Marie-Paule Odini. Read more about the event at Grenoble Life.

Come join us!

As I grow my roster of consulting clients, I’ve decided to put into place one of the many tools that I preach to the people I work with- a Facebook fan page. Yes, it’s true, you can now become a fan of Kelly Rigotti Consulting on Facebook!

Why should you become a fan? Because I’ll be sharing interesting articles, tips and tricks and other resources on the page. Not to mention that you’ll also be a part of a vibrant and growing community of people I work with- great folks all!

Click here to become a fan today.

Or, want to create your own Facebook page? No worries, I can help you do that! Contact me to learn how.

Here is the slide set from the workshop I did for the Lyon à la Carte 2010 Expo in September, 2010.

In this 45 minute presentation, I shared the 8 rules for developing and controlling your personal brand online. This presentation, in English, was a brief introduction to the subject.

Would you like me to speak to your organization about ways to manage a personal brand online? Contact me.

This slide set was created as a resource for businesses just beginning to use Twitter. In it I explain the basics of using Twitter as part of an online marketing and communication strategy.
