@JoelECarlson – Hello everyone, and welcome to the Twitterview of @futureadexec today. Lets step aboard and get rolling!
@futureadexec – hi, Joel. Happy Tuesday. I’m ready to rock and roll.
Q – #1 To begin @futureadexec, where did you grow up and what were some of the life steps that you’ve taken to get you where you are today?
A: I’m from Flake, officially known as Forest Lake. Graduated college this May from the @UofStThomasMN
Fortunate to have had great internships with @Magnet360, @MGEX1 and here @Periscope_, where I now work full-time.
Spent lots of college time with @UST_AdFed. I was the Treasurer, President & Event Coordinator over the years. Also, big into #NSAC.
Q – #2 What courses did you take in college, and how were your internship experiences for you?
A: I majored in #COJO (Comm/Journalism) w/an emphasis on Advertising, plus minored in Eng Lit and Psych so had a wide variety of classes
My internships & @UST_AdFed experiences have gotten me to where I am today. All fantastic. Everyone should participate in @AdFedMN!
Q – #3 Cool! So what is your role at @Periscope, and do you use Social Media tools for your job?
A: My title is Social Media Coordinator here @Periscope_ . I explore emerging media to help our clients best connect w/ their customers
Social media is my job! I’m on Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc. on a daily basis working to help clients meet their social goals
Q – #4 Ah, a Foursquare user! So what unique badges do you have, and what’s your favorite?
A: Favorite @Foursquare badge is “I’m on a boat”. I wasn’t even on a boat when I got it! Just chillin @ Lake Calhoun.
The oddest badges I have are “Zoetrope” for going to different movie theatres &”16 candles” for birthday shoutouts
Q – #5 Lets now go to your FAVS: Favorite – restaurant, store, color and music genre?
A: Oh @JoelECarlson, FAVs are tough! Fave restaurant is a toss up between @BlueDoorPub & Chino Latino (@WannaBangkok)
I love @Nordstrom for their shoe & handbag collection. Love Marathon Sports because they are experts who support good causes.
My fave color has always been pink, now so more than ever because I just completed @the3day.
I don’t have a favorite music genre although I adore Brandi Carlile & am sad I won’t be in town when she’s here @MinnStateFair
Q – #6 Nice. What has been your experience with the Social Media community in the TC, and who are some FAVS to follow?
A: the #TC social media community is fantastic. I especially adore @MIMA & the wide range of people it brings together
Local SM voices I look up to include: @craigpladson, @jenkaneco, @keithprivette & @agencybabylon. There are tons of others too
Q – #7 Nice list! So to end today w/@futureadexec – what advice or mantra would you like to share with people today?
A: I’d like to end on a positive note so I’ll look to Gandhi for this one: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
@JoelECarlson – Thanks you @futureadexec for sharing some of your thoughts and time with everyone today. Have a good afternoon!
@futureadexec – thank you Joel for the opportunity! Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day. Cheers! #jectv
