Hi, nice to meet you! This is your one-stop shopping site for finding me online. Thanks for visiting.
Professionally, I run a marketing consulting company called, ConsumerPop. (Note: The site is currently in the shop for a long overdue facelift so the URL temporarily points to this page. If you have any questions about the services we offer or availability to take on new clients or projects, please contact me at the email below. Thanks!) We help companies develop and implement marketing strategies and plans (including use of social media tools). I have a blog about marketing at Fizz from ConsumerPop. Although I am not actively blogging there at this time, you can read my archives including my seven-part Marketing 101 series.
Personally, I occasionally blog about a range of subjects including pop culture (mostly TV and music) and experiments in living at PopConsumer. I have been a Contributing Editor-at-large at BlogHer.com since 2006 and have written about a variety of subjects including life, music, television, personal finance, small business, real estate, and politics, particularly issues of race and gender.
Additionally, for archival material, some of my older blogs are linked above, including my first, Zoe Tales where you will find stories including those of my crazy but beloved and departed dogs, Zoe and Gracie. If your tastes run towards things like random musings on life, the golden age of television or Bruce Springsteen, we will get along just fine.
I speak at conferences and events and you can find out more about some of my previous engagements here as well as hear and see me in action. I'd be happy to discuss speaking at your event or conference. I am also a voice over artist for narration and commercials. Please contact me for demos or more information.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my content. If you'd like to contact me you can find me on email at info at consumerpop dot com, at Twitter (if you'd like me to follow back, please say "hi" - or ask me a random question) or check out the other services linked in the sidebar.
Cheers!
Maria
