Social Media Coach, Founder, Natiiv Arts & Media Leah is the founder of Natiiv Arts & Media where she is a social media coach for artists, writers and musicians. Leah focuses on teaching individuals and groups the skills they need to be successful at online marketing and personal branding. She believes it is up to the artist, and not the label, to build relationships and manage their online persona. Prior to launching Natiiv Arts & Media in January of 2009, Leah worked at Edelman PR as the Digital-Culture Evangelist. She served on the Strategic Services team and guided research on behalf of brands to understand what is being said online and developed digital strategy based on the findings. Previously, she was the Conversation Analyst in the me2revolution—focusing on research and global internal communications and trying to help each Edelman employee become more digitally savvy. With a degree in Chemistry from Millikin University and a career that has included study abroad administration, non-profit volunteer management and scooping ice cream, Leah shows that you don’t have to study communications to learn how to use social media. |
