About Bruce

I’ve been helping businesses and non-profits reach out and form relationships online since the 90’s. This includes marketing and PR as well as online customer service and communication with partners, employees, potential employees, critics, supporters, government, and wider online communities.

I have been actively engaged in social media for more than ten years. In the mid to late 90s I began developing early versions of today’s blogging software (like WordPress). I also delivered marketing consulting to small businesses going online for the first time in the late 90s. In addition I managed operations at one of the top three internet dating sites, which had similar features to what Facebook now offers. Later I led a startup developing a private label social media web site solution. More recently I began consulting in social media full time.

I became a member of the California Bar in 1989, worked for five years in law firms, working afterward as in-house counsel for corporate employers. This comes in handy for customers in heavily regulated industries facing the substantial burdens that regulatory compliance often requires.

My background also includes IT as a developer and executive in software companies and as a consultant in software and training. This is particularly useful for customers exploring B2B social media options in the IT arena.

My experience in communication also includes sales; print marketing; audio and video production; search engine optimization; email marketing; public speaking; and business listening skills for leadership, teams, and customer relationship development.

I am a graduate of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
