Social media strategist Sam is heading for New Zealand

-

IRELAND’S Tweeting Goddess and south Wexford resident Samantha Kelly has carved out a global reputation as a social media strategist, and next month will see the Irish entreprene­ur headline New Zealand’s 2017 Social Media Conference in Auckland.

The leading Twitter strategist, speaker and trainer, who owns and operates Tweeting Goddess, contribute­s to a dozen or more worldwide conference­s every year. This is on top of her day job, delivering social media strategies for businesses to harness the commercial power of social marketing and the online community.

The Auckland event in September will see Samantha Kelly share with her Kiwi audience new insights and tools designed to drive business growth and extend online influence.

New Zealanders, like the Irish, love using social media.

Both nationalit­ies thrive on community and informatio­n sharing and have a natural ability for networking and traditiona­l word-of-mouth type marketing techniques”, the Wexford-based businesswo­man says.

‘I will be spreading #Twittermag­ic in New Zealand as apparently only 2.72 per cent use Twitter at present, yet Twitter is extremely powerful at building relationsh­ips which leads to conversion­s,’ she said.

If you are unable to see Sam in New Zealand you can join via livestream.

Samantha went from being a carer for her hearing-impaired daughter to running a successful social media business and Women’s Network in just a few years.

She remembers seeing a smart looking business woman at the airport and dreamed of one-day boarding planes for business meetings and conference­s.

Closer to home, the Tweeting Goddess has just been announced as an Ambassador for Design Wizard, an online graphic design tool that takes the time and effort out of creating visual content. They offer over 15,000 templates and 1.2 million images that can be instantly tailored to suit your needs.

Design Wizard are an Irish startup and according to Samantha, ‘Most SMES and marketers need images that stand out and that are simple to create. As I have a strong business and social media marketing following, I’m delighted to be able to help Design Wizard spread the word’.
