Edd’s MANtra: The Announcement

Georgia Mae Headquarters has received some big news, and I’m eager to share it with our faithful readers.

No, we’re not having a baby. I just wanted to get your attention.

As many of you know, I’ve been working for the past year at Luckie & Company, a forward-thinking advertising agency in Birmingham, Ala. Their clients include Little Debbie (free cupcakes!), McAlister’s (sadly, no free sandwiches)and the Summit shopping centers.

I was recently promoted to serve as the agency’s first Community Manager. I’ll be overseeing some of the company’s social media operations, especially in the realm of blogging. I also plan to partner with some community organizations, like the Boys and Girls Club. I have a background in mentoring so I’m pretty excited about that.

So why should Georgia Mae readers care?

Many of you already follow me on Twitter @etbowser. If you aren’t following me, get with the program. it’s what the cool kids are doing.

Along with posting wacky news about your favorite artists, I now will be tweeting about the latest trends in social media. Don’t freak out if you see tweets about offers from our clients or new ways to use Foursquare or Facebook – check ’em out. You might just learn something, or even get something for free. And you know I’ll make things interesting.

And don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of time to continue griping about Kanye, Rick Rawssssssse, Icky Nicki Garbaj, everyone’s favorite rapper Drake, Cousin Chris Brown and all your other favorite artists.

Thanks, and I’ll see you on Twitter. Well, I won’t see you, but you know what I mean.
