Social Divas (3) – You Go Girl!

The social media scene is brimming with influential women who rightfully earned the “Social Diva” title. Each of them managed to print her unique mark and establish herself as a sought-after industry leader. Throughout our “Social Divas” post series, we will be shedding light on some of them.

Amber Naslund

Amber Naslund (@AmberCadabra) brags 15 years of experience as a communications and business strategist. Her rich career history involved working with businesses of all sizes from small businesses to Fortune 50 companies. Today, Amber is the VP of Social Strategy at Radian6.

Lately, Amber has been dedicating a considerable amount of her time to her biggest passion, writing. Her writing gift was manifested in her highly acclaimed blog that received vast recognition including PostRank top community management blog of 2009, Forbes’ 20 Best Social Media and Marketing Blogs By Women , Top 10 Social Media Blogs of 2010, to name just a few.

Her latest notable accomplishment was co-authoring The Now Revolution book with Jay Baer – a shining social media star. As the name implies, the book addresses the undeniable impact of social media on internal business. the book was published on February of this year by Wiley & Sons.

I wish Amber great success in all her endeavors. She made all of us women feel proud.

Ann Handley

As a self-proclaimed digital content veteran, Ann Handley (@MarketingProfs ) has been very successful in helping businesses leverage the power of social media for branding and social engagement purposes. Unlike other so–called social strategists, Ann doesn’t settle for giving theoretical recommendations to her clients; she actually foresees the implementation of her ideas.

Today, she’s the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs – a strategic marketing know-how platform designed for marketing and business professionals.

On top of that, she writes at the MarketingProfs Daily Fix – an outstanding blog that held its rightful place in the top 10 list of The Viral Garden and the top 20 list of Advertising Age Power150. She recently launched her book, Content Rules, that aims to help businesses engage in the Social Web.

If I wanted to describe Ann in one sentence, I would say: she’s a results-oriented social diva. Way to go!

Debbie Weil

Humbly describing herself as:” a digital naïve”, Debbie Weil (@DebbieWeil) was recognized as one of the Most Influential Women in Technology by Fast Company in 2010.

On top of that, she was named by Washingtonian Magazine as a DC Top 100 Tech Titan and brags her Top DC Twitterer title with 10,000+ followers.

Debbie is a Washington DC-based corporate social media consultant and speaker and a passionate writer who started blogging since 2003. Her blogging experience led her to write the first and most comprehensive business blogging book : THE CORPORATE BLOGGING BOOK.

Her next book FRIENDING OVER 50 discusses how baby boomers are using social media to reshape middle and old age.  Debbie’s list of happy clients include American Camp Association, GlaxoSmithKline, Huffington Post, to name just a few.

I personally loved the design of her blog and the confident smile on her face. I can tell that she’s so radiant and her positive energy shines through. I would love to get to know in her person. All the best, Debbie.

What do you think folks? I guess this post is a healthy dose of inspiration for those who want to make it big in social media. Join the club .
