Cindy Morrison

There is a secret sauce to social media that any savvy business owner can develop and guest Cindy Morrison has the recipe!

Emmy-winning journalist Cindy Morrison teaches everyone from network TV journalists to corporate CEOs how to strategically use social media to build brand loyalty, raving fans and their bottom line. Her social media savvy has been highlighted on national TV shows like FOX News, CBS’s “The Talk”, The Washington Post, The New York Post & The Huffington Post. Good Morning America’s Tory Johnson calls Cindy her favorite Social Media Strategist and they’ve spent two years together on the 2011 and 2012 National Spark and Hustle Tour to help women entrepreneurs across the country make more money. Cindy has helped create social media buzz at events from star-studded Hollywood fundraisers & red carpet events to national conferences.

The 20 year TV news anchor and investigative reporter discovered the power of this media to connect with viewers and get exclusives. After corporate downsizing, Cindy reinvented herself as a nationally sought speaker and used the platform to promote her self-published book. Her social media marketing strategy sold more copies of “Girlfriends 2.0″ in the first month alone than the vast majority of first time authors ever sell! That’s when Cindy developed her SOCIALVENTION programs and coaching to show entrepreneurs as well as big corporations & franchises how to utilize social media engagement, video and branding to rise above the competition and not only survive but thrive our changing world.
