Why Designated Editor is award-winning
“Ex-journalist and visionary who predicted print’s demise and dove headlong into New Media, Suzanne McDonald is one of few if not the only pro in the region who is a TRUE expert on all aspects – from Google+, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WordPress, Websites, blogger outreach/strategy, content development/strategy, SEO, events, press and newsletters to fully integrated marketing/branding.
“A teacher at heart (McDonald designed and taught the University of Rhode Island’s first Social Media Strategies and Framingham State University’s Event Planning and New Media courses and is considered the region’s leading educational innovator), McDonald bones up on New Media the way a star pupil does and then shares her vast learning and expertise with a diverse client base so that they, too, become pros – all for far less than the “big guns” charge their clients.”
