Leslie is an expert content producer -- I am consistently impressed with her writing, speaking (http://blip.tv/file/1474516), and bi-weekly online discussion (http://is.gd/9DpF). She's highly personable (she maintains a wonderful on and offline persona), trustworthy, and, best of all, genuine. The quality of her work and reputation within the social media and tech community speak to her passion and zest for what she does.

As I write this, I've known Leslie about three months but seems much longer! I heard her speak to the North Shore Web Geeks and at various Boston and New Hampshire Media Makers networking events; read her online content on her blog and at Mashable; and frequently enjoy her Twitter messages.

Leslie is a dynamic speaker and writer, and it is a no-brainer that she is an expert consultant, too. I've learned many tips for success from her, and I can guarantee she would excel at any organizational opportunity involving social media.

Leslie is an excellent writer who really understands the business value of communications. She's also a true social media leader and pioneer.

Leslie is a social media maven whom I highly recommend. She wrote the book (yes, literally!) on social media and is eager to share her knowledge. She communicates clearly and provides action items that are not only simple, but also fun to implement. She aims to have her clients take over their own social media management and makes it easy for them to do so. Thank you, Leslie!

I've hired lots of content creation partners, but there's only one Leslie Poston. She's a complete subject matter expert, she's always on time, she takes feedback remarkably well, but most importantly, she takes pride in her work. I always sensed her true motivation had little to do with the financial aspect of our partnership, and lots to do with wanting to produce something great that would help her client's business. Highly recommend her.

Having known Leslie for a few years, we are always amazed with all that she is involved with and organizing. Her events are always educational and organized.

She is the go-to person for all levels of Social Media, a great, knowledgeable speaker, and all around great person. Creative, dynamic, personable. Always willing to deliver, even as we ask much of her community and pay-it-forward attitude :)

Leslie is someone who embraces the challenges and questions that arise in marketing and puts people on the path to enlightenment and knowledge. She looks beyond the easy questions asked of social media to find the right way to reach the goals of whomever she is advising. Far from fluffy stats and regurgitating other's knowledge, she goes out of her way to learn and understand new concepts and apply them to businesses.

As someone who has watched her grow over many years, you couldn't have a better person join your team or ask to lead your marketing efforts.

Leslie was honest, direct, and helpful. She really listened to my unique business needs, then honed in with very detailed suggestions on how I could improve my visibility and reach. Her advice was catered specifically to me- where my business is right now and where I want to be, not the blanket business advice I’ve found elsewhere. She delivered her critique without being the least bit judgmental or off-putting. I highly suggest Leslie to anyone who needs to improve their digital strategy. Whether for a complete overhaul or a fine-tuning, Magnitude Media will help you be seen (and look better).

I have worked with Leslie for multiple projects and I was glad with her promptness, integrity, and personable character. She delivers good results with limited supervision. It has been a real pleasure working with Leslie.

Jennie S. Bev Source: LinkedIn

Leslie is an established thought leader in the realm of social media and marketing. She has a keen sense of what works and what doesn't in getting play for your brand. What I appreciate most about Leslie is that she is a team player who drives positive change and community spirit where ever she can. I highly recommend Leslie and Magnitude Media for growing business through emerging media and trends.
