So many people claim to be social media experts, but Lynette is the real deal. Her knowledge and experience goes beyond the social channels and marries marketing principles with social techniques and tools in a way that helps businesses grow. When I was organizing the social media conference Community Manager Recharge, I knew I wanted to have a session on Google+ and I also knew there is no one I’d rather have present on the topic than Lynette. But even beyond the amazing business mind and insightful marketing expert, Lynette is truly a generous and wonderful person.
