“I consider myself an Internet original – my educational and business career developed in parallel with this industry. The combination of technology and how it affects people is the root of my fascination and there’s nothing more exciting than helping people tap in to that; whether it’s through an online recruitment strategy, integrated online ad campaign, or the tools we use to work with our medium.”
After graduating from Colgate University, Shannon jumped into the quickly developing Internet world, managing biz dev for a web dev start-up. In addition to increasing their client base, she learned HTML, graphic design, as well as the intricacies of SEO.
Shannon later joined the Internet team at Cox Newspapers. Her mission was to bring the newspaper classified products online, launch a DART ad serving solution, and more importantly; to bridge the gap between established media and the Internet. Shannon’s ability to effectively communicate the vision and impact of Internet advertising served to convince many traditional advertisers to take their first leap and shift advertising dollars online.
Today, Shannon is the Vice President for Bernard Hodes Interactive where she manages their online operations and projects while also serving as a senior client advisor for the agencies next generation careers web sites, social media, and corporate blogging. Talk to Shannon about the Internet – and her passion for this business quickly rises to the surface with the passion of a true industry evangelist.
