Founder of Communications NewRayCom. Social Media Strategist - Google Plus Specialist
Having worked many years as a manager in the restaurant and performing arts sectors, I appreciate the importance of approaching social media from a business and not just a marketing point of view. I've given workshops and have written many blog posts on the importance of aligning business goals to social media strategy. Decide on your business goals before deciding on your social media tools.
As an early adopter of Google Plus, I've invested many hours in researching and digging into the business advantage of using Google Plus. This has reinforced my view that having a presence on Google+ is a must for any business who cares about, SEO, content marketing & lead generation.
Ray is a real pro at using Google+!
I'm daring to defy the usual LinkedIn categories by highly recommending Ray. We met socially less than a year ago and, since then, I have had the pleasure of attending a presentation about social media given by Ray. Dynamic, passionate, articulate, if I understand anything about social media, it's thanks to Ray.
I had the honor to have Ray as a speaker (twice!) at an "educational" focused networking event called MEEX at KAI Design's studio. Ray's passion for social media and his vast knowledge in the field have truly positioned himself as an exceptional social media consultant!
I can totally see why companies want to work with Ray Hiltz to increase their brand awareness, client relationships, search rankings and revenues. His inputs are invaluable to them! I highly recommend Ray as a social media consultant and also as a speaker! (ask him about Google+)
