Last March I told you I was joining HealthTalker, an early age startup marketing agency in Somerville, MA as their Social Media Associate. It was a great opportunity; I spent 8 months at the evolving company before a financial situation lead to the elimination of my position. In November I began consulting for City Year founder’s Alan Khazei’s campaign for the late Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. Both experiences were very rewarding; I discovered a lot about applying social media to the Pharma industry and politics.
I’m now excited to announce I’ve taken a job with one of Boston’s largest and most respected communication agencies; one that is committed to advancing new media. This Monday (Jan. 11th) I will join Boston-based Cone as their New Media
Associate. I will work directly with Mike Hollywood, Cone’s Director of New Media, to accomplish Cone’s mission:
I’m eager to apply my skills and experience in new media to the impressive range of Cone’s clients, and I am thrilled to get back to the communication world. I believe that new and social media should be executed my communications agencies and am dedicated to advancing the practice. A big thanks to Carol Cone and Bill Fleishman for their dedication to advancing New Media in the industry.
I’d also like to thank all of you who helped me and worked with me while I was looking for a job and consulting. It’s the the tough times that really prove the strength of your network and mine is strong. There is to many to thank and I know you all know who you are. Thanks!

What is exactly is new media? Cone seems to be pretty interesting.
