Walking into Likeable Media is unlike any typical office.  On the very first day, and every day since, I’ve found myself in a bright orange room full of friendly smiles, laughter and greetings.  Everyone is happy to be there, no matter how tired they are or what mood they’re in.  Everyone is exploring social media platforms, engaging fans in client pages and creating likeable buzz.  As the semester now comes to a close, we can reflect on how much we’ve learned- and it’s overwhelming to realize how much that is!

When I told my mom that I landed a Buzz Builder position with Likeable Media, she was overcome with elation about my latest endeavor. However, I quickly hit a road block when she then asked what I’d be doing. It’s easy enough to explain, right? No, wrong! My mother is Portuguese. Not the kind of Portuguese that pretend that their Portuguese just because of the last name or because they know how to say a few words. Portuguese in the sense that she lived there and then moved to the United States in 1979 in hopes of finding the “American Dream” (which she subsequently found and is one of the main reasons I’m here today). Oh, and not to mention that if I don’t eat 12 courses with every meal, I was looked at as if I had some sort of eating disorder (well it was more like 9 courses). Anyways, back to the initial point I was trying to make. If you thought learning a different language was a difficult undertaking, try teaching the powers of social media in a language that an individual who is computer illiterate can understand. In this case, that person is my mother; the language, Portuguese.

My first experience in Social Media Management happened while I was working for a small public relations firm on the east coast. Most of our clients were small businesses and their social media plans were nothing more than an after thought. When I came to the company, I was handed the task of heading up our social media department. I had NO IDEA what I was doing, but I knew how to use Facebook, so I was granted the responsibility of making a social media splash in the name of twenty plus clients.

When I showed up at Likeable Media for The Buzz Builder orientation, I was excited, a little nervous and on a mission. My mission was to make a splash and get noticed. I dreamed of being the smartest, most impressive and most social media savvy Buzzie Likeable Media had ever come in contact with. My fellow Buzz Builders can laugh at my transparency, but if they are all honest, they were all on the same mission and daydreaming the same dream.

While I have been only with the Buzz Builders for about a week now, I have noticed that the culture at this company greatly reflects the medium through which Likeable Media produces its marketing. I am talking about social media, of course.
