Course Description

Social Media Strategist

Kaitlyn Pierce

As a teenager I spent a lot of time (more than I care to admit!) building websites and running blogs. From there my love of social networking grew and I evolved and adapted to all of the social platforms as they came about. I landed my first gig as a Social Media Manager in 2010 with a branding and design agency.Since then I have shared my knowledge of social media and content marketing with many small business owners as well as worked for some larger brands such as What To Expect When You’re Expecting. I now run my own business called Pierce Social where I continue to put my skills to use every day!
