Expertise

Big-picture and detail-oriented, Debbie is a marketing communications specialist who has worked in hospitality digital marketing, content development, and social media for 15+ years. A motivated digital marketer, Debbie brings a unique perspective from her brand, agency, and consulting experience. Debbie's expertise resides in social media (strategy, management, campaigns), copywriting, editing, integrated digital strategies, project management, and strategic partnerships. She’s proficient in storytelling, internal communications, and team leadership. Social Hospitality is a boutique digital marketing agency that helps brands develop their online identities, create engaging content, and build their social media presences. ""Social hospitality"" is an all-encompassing phrase that embodies the dynamic fusion of social media and the art of hospitality. It represents the seamless integration of two powerful forces that revolutionize the way businesses interact with customers.

Background

After graduating from UC Irvine with a degree in English, Debbie began her career working for a destination marketing organization where she dove into destination, hotel, restaurant, and venue marketing. In early 2011, Debbie launched “Social Hospitality” as a blog to cover news and trends related to social media and the hospitality industry. Around the same time, she took a job at a marketing agency that served an array of luxury hotels and resorts. As their Digital Communications Manager, she oversaw social media strategies; helped develop content across websites, blogs, and social channels; and coordinated cross-departmental activities including search, social, digital advertising, and reporting. She worked there as a full-time employee until January 2017. Simultaneously, Debbie continued to optimize Social Hospitality, taking on freelance clients and speaking engagements. Although it started as a side hustle in 2011, Social Hospitality has evolved into a thriving and highly sought-after marketing communications consulting firm.
