Jay Baer Social Media Strategy Consultant
Hi. I’m Jay Baer. I’m a tequila-loving, hype-free social media strategy consultant, speaker, and author that helps leading companies and PR firms harness the awesome power of the social Web. I’m the founder of Convince & Convert, a social media strategy firm with clients across North America.
I’m a frequent conference speaker, and write the popular Convince & Convert social media strategy blog. I’m also the founder and editor of the Twitter 20 series of live interviews on Twitter.
Social Media Strategy Consulting
Social media isn’t a conversation, it’s where the conversation takes place. Companies need to focus first on how to “be” social, and then on how to “do” social. I developed a tools-agnostic, scalable, sustainable social media strategic planning methodology that’s now in use in dozens of corporations and agencies world-wide.
I also conduct one and two-day social media coaching clinics with a hands-on approach that leaves participants with a newfound understanding of social media nuance and best practices.
Clients say: “Our firm hired jason to bring us up to speed in B2B digital marketing and PR strategies. He was phenomenal — not only did he teach us, but he inspired us. I recommend him highly as a balanced right/left brain thinker!”
Author
My first book – The Now Revolution – is about the impact of real-time business on organizational structure and process – will be released in February, 2011 by John Wiley & Sons. The book is co-authored by the amazing Amber Naslund.
The Convince & Convert blog is recognized as one of the best marketing blogs in the world by AdAge, Junta42, Alltop, Social Media Today, Social Media Examiner, Scribnia, and a host of other arbiters of that sort of thing.
I typically publish every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with an emphasis on sound, practical social media advice that both makes you think, and makes you think you can do it, too. My twice-weekly social media email newsletter, 3-2-1 help readers identify the trends and can’t miss social media stories. My eBook “Staggering Social Media Insights” is a collection of the best moments from my live Twitter interview series.
Social Media Speaker
I participate in approximately 100 live or virtual events annually, speaking about social media’s role and impact. I deliver 3 things in every speech: humor, insight, and education. I use a highly engaging, visual style and lots of storytelling.
I provide keynotes, break-outs, or full-day training sessions.
99%+ of attendees on a recent social media strategy Webinar I conducted for MarketingProfs would recommend the session to a colleague, and my conference speaker ratings (on a 5 point scale) are 4.75+
Conference planners say: Not only does Jay Baer command extraordinary knowledge and expertise on social media and deep understanding about the implications for PR and marketing across multiple industries, but his ability to capture an audience’s attention and imagination for an entire day is unique. Jason’s energy and enthusiasm for the subject matter is infectious and he converts ordinary folk to believers in a very short amount of time.
