ALBANY, NY (04/11/2011)(readMedia)-- readMedia is pleased to announce that two talented people have joined our team. Danielle Valenti will take on the newly created role of Community Manager and Brian Groudine expands our growing Account Analyst group.
Danielle comes to readMedia from Crisafulli Brothers, where as Marketing Coordinator she led the strategy and implementation of a new marketing presence for the 70-year-old firm. Prior to Crisafulli, Danielle was the Marketing and Project Coordinator for Cotton Hill Studios, a full service recording studio in Albany, NY.
As readMedia's Community Manager, Danielle will ensure that all of readMedia's clients have the tools, training and support necessary to make the most of their subscription to the company's software. She will be an active evangelist to readMedia's user community and will manage readMedia's social media presence, as well as providing marketing and sales support to her colleagues.
Brian is readMedia's first outside hire for the newly constituted Account Analyst group. He joins the company from Rebel Marketing and MediaCom in New York City, where in both cases he worked closely with clients to develop media and PR solutions customized for their needs. He expands on that work at readMedia by matching industry analysis and best-practices solutions to the needs of professionals in higher education.
"I'm so pleased that we were able to land Danielle and Brian for the readMedia team," said Colin Mathews, CEO. "The best part of my job is when truly talented people--like Brian and Danielle--decide that they can grow and succeed with us."
Valenti and Groudine expand readMedia's capabilities at a time when the company's footprint continues its rapid national growth.
