I've built my company by training musicians, artists and writers in fundamentals of social web. From there we brainstorm and collaborate on ideas that they can execute without me.

Amy was the prototype for how I now work with clients. Instead of talking about social media for yet another hour, we'll talk about our collaborative process and our paths.

Since this application was submitted, she was hired full time by the Chicago Tribune to work on ChicagoNow.com and be the Digital Coordinator/Books.

Leah knows her shit and is doing amazing work in this space. She's also a fun person to be around and doesn't have any Kool Aid for you to drink. I've seen Leah speak before and this panel would definitely be a great time and very useful!

I've done panels with Miz Guth, and a more honest, clever, funny, generous person does not exist. I've been following Miz JOnes for about a year on Twitter, and I've learned so much from her! I might come to SXSW for this.

Interested in that intersection between art and social media, the ways that authenticity distributes itself in the messaging. Would be wonderful to hear that relationship ethos reveal itself in a genuine discussion about staying true to your beliefs while gaining a wider audience for your work.

Heard Leah at Southwest Arts Presenters workshop in Austin this spring. She inspired me and many of my colleagues to utilize social media to promote our arts organizations - performing arts centers - via blogging, twitter and facebook.
She presented with humor and good spirit to a crowd that was very diverse in age, experience and budget.
Very highly recommended.

Thanks for the comments - especially from Elspeth. The SWPAP meeting was a blast and I think I learned as much from your crew, as you might have learned from me.

I recently did a similar talk with another client and can say that presenting WITH successful clients is way more interesting that another consulting talking ABOUT clients (or other people's clients). At least, I think it is.
Leah is both knowledgeable and experienced in this field. I can't way to hear her speak!
