She is available for short and long-term contracts in Boston or nationwide. In 15 years of marketing, Michele J Martin has curated a diverse set of skills. Her unique method of in-the-trenches ideation has provided out-of-the-box solutions to the many industries she has worked within: tech, architecture, food, agricultural, pet and e-commerce. An early user of social community sites in the 1990s, this marketer based in Boston, Massachusetts began creating content and studying how to best engage and build a community of active listeners before there was a term for it. In the mid 2000s, she founded a sustainably minded pet store with an emphasis on holistic health and North-American-made products. Acting as the company's CMO, her marketing skills were able to attract both local and national attention. Animal Fair Magazine reached out in 2009 and interviewed her on the benefits of real food diets for pets. In 2010, Entrepreneur Magazine named her store's local service business, a canine fitness business with a holistic approach, and one of 2010's Hottest Business Ideas. Upon closing her retail operations, the transition into a social media marketing strategist was a natural one. To learn more, check out her website, or find her on Twitter and Facebook.
