Welcoming Qui Diaz

Mar 20 2008

Qui Diaz started at Livingston Communications this week as director of strategy. We’re going to practice what we preach and not slap the press release into a blog post. But we will tell you a few things about her:

Qui comes from Ogilvy’s esteemed 360 Degree Digital Influence Group
She also blogs at the evange.LIST, a place where she discusses non-profits and social media
Qui has a PR background, and understands integrating PR and social media
And she’s quite a rock star in the local social media community

Next Tuesday, Qui will start blogging on the Buzz Bin in her usual slot. In a addition, we decided to interview her next Thursday to provide some more background info for our readers.

Personally, it’s great to have Qui on board. Her senior leadership significantly expands our offering.

Qui, welcome to Buzz Bin and congratulations on joining Geoff, who has taught us much and been a coach and so much more. We look forward to crossing paths, especially with Rock stars :-)

Geoff – I always knew you were a smart guy but this proves you are brilliant! Qui .. congrats! on your new position.
Jared Goralnick Says:

Anyone who was thinking about hiring the Buzz Bin before but wasn’t sure about that crazy Geoff Livingston guy should now hire them. Now you can trust Geoff for such a good decision and the Buzz Bin for having another no-nonsense rockstar onboard.

Thanks all! I’m incredibly grateful for for the opportunity to work with Geoff, Larissa, and Marinel – a magnificent team. They’ve got me full speed ahead and a lot of sweet, sweet momentum is on the way. Please holler any time, for any reason (I know I will).

I know, I know – I’m late to the congratulating here but if there was a Qui fan club, I’d be the one with buttons on my shirt and briefcase that say “Vote for Qui”
QuiDiaz Says:

Thanks you guys – I’m blessed to have a community of such smart and talented colleagues (and friends) to learn from!
Leslie Bradshaw Says:
