Blogging is about finding a voice. Since I started this blog last fall mine certainly has found more clarity. I started it with the title ‘My Conversations’, but I’ve changed it to Community Strategist which better suits my focus on the aspects of community building, networking & the importance of creating relationships.

Recently Francois Gossieaux invited me to join a group blog on Marketing 2.0. I’m excited to represent the voice of community building alongside some great thought leaders in the marketing field!  Isn’t the logo great?!

I love the theme & the way that each writer’s photo is featured when they post. I think that adds personalization to our work & is another way to connect us to the reader.

And when Francois & I compared notes we found that we have a common vision. Definitely exciting things ahead!
