Profile

My name is Renée Quinn, and in some circles I am known as The Social Media Diva™ due to my experience with and passion for social media. Social media and social networking are excellent ways to promote a business, especially in conjunction with a strong marketing and brand building campaign. In addition to writing articles on social media, brand building and marketing for IPWatchdog.com, I also offer consulting services in social media, brand development, brand building and marketing initiatives to individuals and businesses of all sizes. As a consultant I can assist in setting up marketing campaigns coordinated with aggressive use of social media and social networking tools. Not only do I offer social media and social networking consulting services, but also am available for speaking engagements and offer corporate education and executive training as well. I acquired my Masters of Business Administration in 2003. My MBA course work focused on e-Commerce and e-Business, with an emphasis on marketing via the World Wide Web. My particular career focus to date has been on business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing development and implementation, project management and corporate training. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have more than 20 years (WOW, am I that old?) experience in direct customer service. Since April of 2006, I have also searched as Director of Marketing and Chief Operating Officer of IPWatchdog, Inc. My primary responsibilities with IPWatchdog include interfacing with inventors, entrepreneurs and small businesses. I am also in charge of all day to day operations including accounts receivable, accounts payable, developing marketing campaigns and coordinating outside vendors in a project managing capacity. I also periodically write business related articles as a contributing author for the IPWatchdog Blog. Prior to joining IPWatchdog I was employed by Citadel Broadcasting, where I designed and implemented radio-advertising campaigns for corporate clients. Previous to that, through my employment with the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, I assisted small and medium sized businesses in obtaining their marketing and business development objectives. Prior to this I worked for Vertex, Inc. as a software support analyst, a software-training specialist and an Oracle customer database manager. In this capacity, I conducted customer information management and data validation of customer data including sales orders and contact information. I served on several implementation teams where processes were tested and verified to ensure that the process development for the Oracle Financial System implementation met the needs of Customer Relationship Management. In this role I also assisted in corporate development and training through the preparation of documentation necessary for the implementation of a new Oracle Financial System within the Vertex Corporate Structure. Finally, I assisted in developing customer data management process training documentation for corporate training.
