Are you overwhelmed by social media and often throw your hands up in despair? Believe me I know how you feel. Until I finally took the guidance that I received way back in 2018.
This moment occurred for me at the Life Balance Retreat
hosted by Shilamida “Goddess of Gratitude” in Ramsey, NJ in June 2018. During
the weekend retreat, it was discussed about releasing tasks that sucked up your
time from your true inspiration. My initial thoughts were, how can I possibly
afford to hire a housekeeper and even more so, a social media marketing guru?
This thought process fits right into my previous posts of slaying the inner
naysayer.
I did slay the concerns
of hiring a housekeeper in 2018, but for some reason or another, I held off on
hiring a social media marketing guru to take some of the pressure off of me. My
ego would often tell me, don’t hire a social media marketing guru, you can do
it yourself. I’ve always prided myself in being technology savvy, but to be
quite honest with you. The constant changes in the social medial landscape are
overwhelming. Unfortunately, I’ve allowed this feeling to stop me in my tracks
and I have ignored a consistent social media presence for quite some time. With
that being said, blast forward to current day February 2020, I’m delighted to
announce I have stepped out of my own way and hired someone to handle my social
media.
I know Shil, you are saying out loud just about now... "what took you so long, Donna!?"
Let me get right to it!
I’m pleased to announce
I have hired Sean Brennan, a graduate of Wentworth Institute of Technology in
Boston with a B.S. in Industrial Design!
Sean’s experience at
Shark Ninja, Operating LLC, as a Creative Marketing Intern for 18 months
provided on the job training and experience well beyond the scope of Industrial
Design. Fine-tuning his creative skills with collaborative work between the
creative, engineering and industrial design teams for in-depth marketing
purposes has proven to be invaluable.
Sean's expertise with
Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, MS PowerPoint, MS Office, Sketching
Sketchbook Pro, InVision, SolidWorks and Keyshot provides a true working
knowledge of an array of programs that are imperative in today’s ever-changing
technology landscape. These skills are proven assets in the Design and
Marketing world.
Sean’s knack of grasping
and embracing the social media trends as to what grabs the Internet surfer’s
attention from the onset is beyond my expectations.
Hiring Mr. Brennan to
handle the social media design and implementation for Energy of Serenity LLC
and my author presence, Donna McDine, is one of the best decisions I have made
professionally.
How exhilarating to be
at my day job, in session with a Reiki client or working on my latest
work-in-progress to find my social media being handled creatively and
professionally!
A few samples of Sean's creativity...
In a short amount of time, I am enjoying an increase in the organic social media following and engagement for both Energy of Serenity and my author presence. Yippee!
I highly recommend Mr.
Brennan for your professional needs today!
Feel free to reach out
to Sean at s.brennan2096@gmail.com or visit him at his
website.

Jealous! I am glad you are able to focus your energies where needed. I may need to re-consider this idea myself.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best professional decisions I have made. Wish I had made this decision awhile ago!
DeleteSounds wonderful. Imagine spending the time on writing your stories without having to do all the social media things. It is tempting. Thanks for telling us about it. Have a good weekend.
