Connie Reece

I am a writer, communicator and consultant who helps companies stay current with business trends regarding social media and social networks. I am also a popular conference speaker who has presented at national and regional events, including: BlogHer, BlogWorld, Marketing Profs Digital Mixer, PRSA Digital Impact, and Women Who Tech.

In 2007 I  created the Frozen Pea Fund, the first grassroots fundraising effort started solely on Twitter — long before Oprah or Ashton brought the microblogging service to mainstream attention. My work was featured in best-selling author Shel Israel’s Twitterville: How Businesses Can Thrive in the New Global Neighborhoods.

In 2009 I was honored to win the inaugural Texas Social Media Awards and was profiled by AustinWoman magazine as one of the top five women in social media in Austin.

Online, I have a reputation for showing off my hot pink boa, which matches people tell me matches my fun and outgoing personality. Like any good “hooker,” I admit to a hidden stash of yarn in my closet and enjoy designing my own crochet patterns.
