I have a social media consulting business (since 2007), helping companies build web strategies, implement social media tools and engage in community outreach.
I am Co-Founder at SPLRG - real-time tips in your neighbourhood on the best valued deals and sales in Fashion, Home, Kids and Wine. (In development.)
I started in the web world in 2003 as a graphic web designer and arrived to where I am by way of Associate Web Designer at zu.com and as Social Web Marketing Director at Raincity Studios.
I began using the social web (when it wasn't quite referred to as social media) to document my time "on-the-ground" with CBC Sports at the Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy in 2006.
I write about community, technology and my life at http://megancole.org
Prior to the Web, I worked in Sports Broadcasting and Television and Film.
I received my BA in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson University and a diploma in Graphic and Web Design from Concordia University. I studied Classical Theatre at Oxford University in England.
I have also completed my WSET Level 3 Certification and have started to write about wine at http://winejargon.org
