Here are some of the projects and work I am currently involved in. Please contact me if you would like to know more about these activities.
The idea for StartPR grew out of a need for better blogger relations. People are engaged in conversations with each other about your company, your brands, your products and your services. They are also reaching out to you with insights, suggestions, stories, and sometimes, important issues and major complaints. These conversations are all happening online, right now.
StartPR is a service that helps you find, manage and respond to mentions of your company, your brand, your products, your service and your people online. Please visit StartPR to learn more, or this article at Network Solutions. Please contact me at alex [at] startpr.com
VoxMedical is a worldwide online community for the medical profession where physicians and healthcare professionals may discuss clinical symptoms, treatments, and prevention. Please contact me at alex [at] voxmedical.com

Here are some of the presentations and keynotes I have delivered:
Social Media Workshops
Increasingly, companies, PR firms, and interactive agencies are meeting, talking about, and sometimes questioning the the significance of social media and the impact it will have on business marketing, PR, and communications. Everyone has heard of a high-profile success or misfire of a social-media program.
I conduct workshops to bring people up to speed on the history, culture, technology, and platforms of social media. By the end of the workshop, professionals will have the tools, skills, and understanding to better evaluate their company’s and their own options and strategies going forward. Please visit socialobject.com to learn more about the social media workshops.
I organize regular South Florida web and technology meetups, including RefreshMiami, BarCampMiami, MobileMondayMiami, and Social Media Club South Florida. Please visit this page for more information. Please get in touch with me at alex [at] barcampmiami.org for more details.
