Dave Evans
"If I couldn't interrupt you, how would I reach you?" That's the question Dave starts with as a communications consultant focused on word-of-mouth and social media.
Dave is the author of "Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day," a practical, hands-on guide to implementing and measuring social media as part of an integrated marketing program. Building on the approach he outlines in his book, Dave listens to what a client's business communications needs are, then evaluates current operations, marketing, and management processes. Working alongside his clients, Dave develops an effective, measured approach to using social media and achieving organizational and business goals.
In 1994, Dave co-founded Digital Voodoo, which provides strategic marketing services for clients wanting to tap the power of the social web. In 2005, he co-founded HearThis.com, a podcasting service firm focused on social media and marketing.
Dave holds a B.S. in physics and mathematics from the State University of New York/College at Brockport and has served on the advisory board with ad:Tech and the measurement and metrics council with WOMMA.
