Robert McLeod’s Summary

I have extensive knowledge and experience working with web, computer and marketing technologies. I would like to continue to broaden my knowledge through working on projects that are geared towards my area of expertise as well as learn new processes and technologies. I am always looking for a challenge and will do what is required to figure out a problem and find the best solution I can for that problem. I have a diploma in electrical engineering so I am well equipped to solve problems, both simple and complex.

Additionally, through my involvement in ultimate frisbee and sport in general, I have been a player, a coach and an organizer and I have developed many teamwork and leadership skills that have helped me succeed in the professional world. I am excited to continue learning and helping every project, company and colleague along the way.

Robert McLeod’s Experience

Social Media Marketing Specialist

West17Media

(Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

October 2009 — Present (3 months)

I work in the online marketing realm with a specific focus on what's understood as "social media" (social networks, mircoblogging, social video sites, aggregators, etc). We are focused on integrating social media within an organization's overall marketing strategy instead of having social media operate separately, which happens all too often. We are also focused on educating people on the real-time web, augmented reality, SEO, analytics and how social media has an impact on these elements.

I created this website to serve as an online resource for people to learn how to play the game of ultimate frisbee. I'm currently available to run clinics for your league, organization or team. I don't charge for the clinics but will require that you cover my costs (transportation, lodging and food). Please contact me for more information.
