Event details: Getting social with PetRelocation.com

We kick off our 2010 SMB Austin schedule with a presentation from one of Austin's fastest-growing companies! 

Join Kevin O'Brien and Rachel Farris from PetRelocation.com for a look into their furry, four-legged online world of social media.  For tail-wagging evangelists, social platforms are quickly becoming the fastest-growing dog parks out there.  Kevin and Rachel will speak from two very different perspectives: 1) the CEO's overview of why social media is important to the company 2) how a social-media employee manages the day-to-day reality of keeping the online conversation going.  

Kevin and Rachel will also discuss how C-level executives and managers can work together to take new-media ideas and turn them into results.

Rachel Farris (@MeanRachel) is the director of PR and new media for PetRelocation.com.  She was hired as the second employee at PetRelocation.com in 2006 and while working in sales and customer service, she offered to start the company blog.  As social media became more important to the PetRelocation.com brand, Rachel was promoted to a full-time online evangelist, authoring the PetRelocation blog and managing the company's Facebook and Twitter pages.  Since then, she has continued to collaborate with Kevin to grow PetRelocation.com's online presence through social media by securing partnerships and building relationships with other pet, travel, and relocation websites.
