I’m struggling to find a title for what I do. Social Media Consultant is totally abused, and to me the term ‘Consultant’ just means ‘I sell bullshit’. Besides, almost every other person on twitter is now a social media consultant, guru, strategist, or advisor. And eventually you’ll find out that I’m not your average social media consultant. I don’t have an iPhone nor do I worship Steve Jobs, I don’t speak jargon, I don’t tweet around the clock, and I especially don’t hang out at Fat Burger or go to watch Transformers.
But stereotypes aside, and consultants aside, we’re left with Social and Media. We could have taken ‘Social’ out as we’ve all really been social ever since we were monkeys, but the only problem is not everyone knows how to show their social side or break the ice with their audience in the digital sphere. So my role is to really help us social monkeys to break the ice. That’s what it’s all about: breaking the digital ice between people or companies and their audiences. Although pick up lines are not my best talent, but I’m a good social networker and I know how to listen, and I believe that is what makes me different. ‘Media’ stays, because it’s about all the online tools that were made to be very simple for everybody to use, yet most find intimidating to say the least.
From here, I feel Social Media Ice Breaker is appropriate but maybe a bit cheesy, what do you think?
