Element33 was created to help small businesses learn how to use social media and video. The business has evolved from teaching a company to a small agency to helping small businesses harness the power of online marketing and social media. Over the last few years, I have focused on several clients, focusing on e-commerce clients. The social media I have focused on are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Content Marketing. Facebook experience runs the gamut from creating a presence developing a voice to performing community management.

Video production and editing – I have been helping small businesses produce and film video content. It focuses on live streams on Facebook and also quick videos. These are done with cell phones and DSLR cameras. Video is growing in engagement, and all businesses can take advantage of this growing trend.
