Luminary Pitch Competition

Nothing makes me happier than helping other women succeed (and wearing flats). Powerful night at Luminary’s Women of Impact Pitch Competition with Berlin Cameron and Marie Claire. The competition celebrated women-founded brands that use their products or services to help build community. Congratulations to Mommy Matters, who won over $75K in funding and services! And speaking of women-founded brands, head to CNBC for my latest article, where I delve into how I built – and fun

Media Magnets in Israel

It starts with women. I recently returned from an unforgettable trip with the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project, where myself and 31 fellow female Media Magnets spent an incredible eight days in Israel, exploring, documenting and sharing all of the things that make it amazing, harnessing the power of social media to do so. Myself and media maven Jeannette Kaplun shared our thoughts on empowering women to change the public perception of Israel for i24NEWS – and later took a m

At Mobile World Congress with Samsung Business

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Samsung. The opinions and text are all my own. In order to look ahead, you need to look back. Recently at Mobile World Congress America in San Francisco, I asked executives to share the number one thing they wish their mobile device still had. Check out their answers here (T9 keyboard, anyone?). We also spoke with Carolina Milanesi of Creative Strategies, Inc. about how millennials are changing the workforce. Hear her answer

From Full-Time to Freelance

Isn’t it time to make our work, work for us? In 2011, I made the unorthodox decision to transition from a steady, salary job with benefits to a self-employed social media consultant. On-demand work is quickly becoming mainstream, and sites like WorkMarket are making it easier for contractors and companies to meet, fill job listings and coordinate payment. Head to Mashable – Business to learn more about my move from full-time to freelance, the three steps I took to get there a

No pressure, no diamonds. Thanks to FireCushion Diamonds for the opportunity to speak (after Peyton Manning and before Bill O’Reilly) at the Centurion Jewelry Show last week at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale. I spoke about social media best practices to 100+ luxury consumer retailers. Head to Politico to read Bill O’Reilly’s candid comments on Trump, business, and the economy, as first reported on my blog. Special thanks to the Washington Post for picking up my story! #S

Facebook Live with Martha Stewart Weddings

Weddings and tech go together like a horse and carriage. This week I had the pleasure of joining Martha Stewart Weddings for a Facebook Live to chat about some of the biggest wedding social media trends. The biggest trend I’m seeing? All things digital. From bouquet Go Pros and 3D printed cakes to wedding drones and custom-designed Snapchat Geofilters, bride and grooms are looking to tech for their big day. With digital invitations, digital save the dates, digital registry, d

RetailROI 2017

This week, I was invited by the Retail Orphan Initiative (RetailROI) to speak about social media trends to 300 or so retail executives at the Harvard Club of New York. From storytelling and video to social networks in the workplace, one of the top trends I addressed was the rise of the social media influencer. MuseFind found that 92% of consumers trust influencers more than traditional advertisements featuring celebrity endorsements (which explains why so many brands are grav

Best of CES 2017

Happy new year! I started 2017 off – as many internet entrepreneurs do – in Las Vegas at CES. Partnering with Dell, I hosted a music/tech dinner with Intel and The Glitch Mob, a brunch with Dell/Microsoft/Alienware – and I even took over Dell’s Instagram for the week to share live moments from all! Shout-out to some other clients and friends I got to hang out with, including Scripps Network, HGTV, Food Network, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Refinery29, Medialink, Jaguar, Altec L

Mashable #BizChats: Tips for a Successful 2017

2016 isn’t the problem, and 2017 isn’t the solution! Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of joining Mashable‘s Tracey Edouard for a Facebook Live about how to take stock of your accomplishments and prepare for success in 2017. I gave my top career tips – from regularly documenting accomplishments to learning new things every day to asking your employer the right questions at the right time.

Facebook Live with Refinery 29

This week, I hosted one of Refinery 29‘s final Facebook Lives 2016 – speaking about social media best practices in 2016 (and some trends we need to leave behind). Top Social Media Fails of 2016 Before looking ahead to 2017, I talked about some of the biggest social media fails of 2016, from Ryan Lochte’s untimely hair Tweet to Total Beauty‘s Whoopi Goldberg/Oprah mixup. The takeaway from these fails? Always do your research before posting on social media, hire thoughtfully, a

Screening Calls with 3M

I’m proud to say the world is my office – but sometimes, that means I’m typing emails on a plane, train or automobile, within close quarters to complete strangers, especially in NYC. Visual hacking happens every day, with hackers obtaining info in 15 minutes or less. You can easily prevent this on your laptops, tablets and smartphones with 3M Privacy Filters – which block side views and keep what’s on your screen reserved for you.

Small Business Saturday with American Express

Small business, huge impact. As a content creator, small business owner and American Express Cardmember since 2003, supporting my fellow small businesses is not only a pleasure – but a privilege, especially since AmEx helped me start my own business as one of my first-ever clients back in 2009. On this year’s Small Business Saturday, I celebrated a few of my favorite small businesses – Viyet, for helping us style our shoot locations, GLAMSQUAD, for always getting me camera-re

E-School for Girls: The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

As a small business owner, there are few things I’m more passionate about than helping the next generation of female entrepreneurs. (I even give them a plug in my latest for Forbes.) Over the last year, I’ve had the honor of working with the E-School for Girls pre-college program, which gives young women the opportunity to learn how to innovate and create their own businesses. (Learn more about our February launch event with Microsoft and NYU.) This summer, I mentored the gir

Main Squeeze: Natalie’s Orchid Island

You don’t have to know me well to know that I’m a fierce and unwavering advocate for women-owned businesses. So imagine my delight when I found out that my favorite childhood juice company Natalie’s Orchid Island has been a women-owned business for 27 years! Growing up in South Florida, my family and I always drank Florida-HQed Natalie’s Orange Juice. (My parents even joked that I drank so much of it, they named it after me!) Last month, I had a chance to speak with the compa
