About Jim Nellis
Champion of social media tools and technologies, with a track record of creating and implementing successful social media programs. Keep up-to-date with constantly evolving technologies in online social networking and work closely with clients to create innovative, effective campaigns.Creating new relationships is the key to growing any business and social media really ramps up the process. I have built and maintain a sports centric Facebook page that has over fans and reaches 1.9 MILLION people each and every week. Locally, RI FOOD FIGHTS is a brand that is 100% social media driven! We create events where foodies gather to judge the Best of the BEST in a particular food category. EVERY event has SOLD OUT. Over 1,200 folks attended our 2nd CUPCAKE Championship and scarfed over cupcakes! We\'re anticipating over to buy tickets to our ICE CREAM Throwdown in June. Clients include but are not limited to: Garrison Confections, Pizza Pie-er, B.A.D. Custom Clothiers, Mijos Tacos, the University of Georgia, and Wayland Square.(I know way more about Facebook than a man my age probably should.)
