Lately…

Amber spoke at the Search Engine Strategies (SES) conference in Chicago, on the Small Business Blitz panel session. She talked and answered questions about how small businesses can and should take advantage of social media. The presentation was a quick-fire overview of Amber’s e-book:

Cision US asked Amber to come and speak with their Internet Research team to understand how social media and new communications is changing the landscape of the industry. Half presentation and half dynamic Q&A session, the presentation covered everything from media relations to blogging, research, and crisis communications. Here’s a peek at the slides:

Testimonials…

A few recent kind words from the folks Amber’s spoken to:

“Amber was an ideal speaker for Cision US’s Internet Research team because what she had to say was useful and relevant for everyone from our resident social media/marketing experts to beginners who are just starting to dabble in the space. It is evident in Amber’s speaking engagements that she eats, sleeps and breathes social media. She has a natural conversational tone that engages her audience and turns an everyday conversation into a riveting discussion. Her knowledge of and passion for the changing marketing landscape is inspiring. Additionally, Amber’s previous experience in the world of traditional marketing allows her to give an insider’s perspective without alienating an outside audience. I would highly recommend Amber Naslund to anyone looking for insight into social media and marketing.”
