People on the Move in the Social Media Industry: May 18th, 2008

Categories: On the move, Social Media, Web Industry, Web TeamPosted on May 18th, 2008

I’m starting this post series (see archives) to recognize and congratulate folks who get promoted, move, or accept new exciting positions. Please help me congratulate the following folks:

SF based Adam Metz has become a partner at theMIX, leaving Launchsquad. The company does social web strategy consulting, business development and public relations for a varied set of clients

Kristen Taylor started a new position as the Online Community Manager for the Knight Foundation (who funds online journalism and community); previously, she was the Associate Director of Online Content and Social Media for PBS.

Antonio Salgado Leiner of Mexico is excited to be new media and social media manager to social computing director at NeoSocial Media.

Congrats to Jackie Danici who has joined Qik (mobile live video) as the Director of Marketing, I’ve known Jackie for a few years now, there’s no mistake why they call her the dynamist, see video from Pat Phelan.

Stefan Constantinescu and Ricky Cadden are now part of Nokia’s S60 Online Marketing Team, they will be using blogs, and will encourage word of mouth around the platform, congrats guys!

I’m seeking folks that are related to full time hands on social media strategy and community managers, to be on this list, so let me know if you see these folks, and please submit them. Also, I probably will not include executive management changes on this list at social media companies, as the list would go on and on, but you can feel free to express yourself in the comments!

Hey Jeremiah - we hired one, too! Did you hear? I’m looking forward to the new community manager starting on May 27, and then you can blog about him
