Kristine Hughes has been in the social media marketing field before social media marketing was a thing. With a degree in English and Journalism from the State University of Albany (Go Danes!), she jumped headfirst into the marketing field, assisting real estate brokers with all sorts of marketing tasks. Shortly after, she decided to change careers and pursue a Master’s Degree in Education. She soon found herself a middle/high school English teacher! Teaching was always a passion, but due to a crumbling economy at the time, she had to make other plans. She took a job at a law firm, working in their marketing department, where she taught herself everything there was to know about social media and marketing. She also learned how to create a podcast from scratch, helped others with blogging and personal branding, and soon realized she wanted to help other businesses with their social media presence. Currently, she gets to combine her love for social media, education, and marketing and assist others in achieving their dreams. Watching small businesses grow from 0 followers to hundreds (if not thousands) of engaged followers that turn into clients makes her heart smile!
