Fellow Networking – The socialest diva I’ve ever met
That’s socialEST not socialIST. :) So who am I talking about? Anyone in the know already knows the answer but for those who aren’t it’s Kathy Sipple. Kathy is one of the #nwitweetup originals and was even the person behind @nwitweetup though others are now helping her with the task.
So what makes Kathy socialest diva I know, well she was given the title by Duke Long who saw at her at a recent conference in Indy. She’s embraced the title of Social Media Diva and she really deserves it. Why’s that? Well anyone who is on any of the social networks probably sees her all over the place (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Blogging, etc.) On top of seeing her online, she’s also all over the place at the other networking events in the area.
Are you still missing her? Do you want to know more about those networks I mentioned earlier? Well then you are in luck because Kathy does training and teach classes on social media so you can pick her brain for all the juicy bits.
People in Northwest Indiana aren’t the only people who recognize this. As well Kathy was voted the “Social Media Dame of the Year” at the Indiana Inaugural Social Media Summit in Indy late last year. This was voted on by everyone in Indiana. First she conquered NWI, next was the whole state, so only the world is left. You should really come out and meet up with her some time at one of the #nwiteetups, but it not you can always find her at her Social Media Marketing Training website, or you can talk to her about social media on Twitter.
Richard,
Thanks for the kind words. I’m going to work hard this year to keep earning that title! There is so much new technology I am excited about. I know that my #nwitweetup friends as well as my fellow bloggers will help keep me relevant and in-the-know. Thanks for being someone who helps me stay up to date!
Kathy
Actually, I’m not the person who keeps you up to date, I’m just the person who lets you know when you are spamming twitter.
Kathy deserved the title “Social Media Dame for Indiana” in 2009 … and was also named to the unofficial Influentia list for both NW Indiana and the State. What will be fun to watch will be how 2010 expands social media and social marketing, and how those at the top rise … fall … or collaborate.
