Hi, I’m Maxine Teller, a strategy and business development consultant and blogger immersed in the social media space.  I help businesses, organizations, and individuals to understand:

  1. the sweeping societal changes catalyzed by social media;
  2. how social media is challenging our communications and business assumptions;
  3. why participating in social media is imperative to your future success and profitability;
  4. how to join the conversation enabled by social media.

 

I’ve advised companies and organizations including:

 
What did I do before social media changed everything?  Well, really, all of the components which have now collided and spawned social media: media, innovation, communications, sociology, and technology. 

  • Explored and evaluated new businesses and managed content syndication at washingtonpost.com
  • Developed and executed the Pentagon Channel’s distribution strategy
  • Founded an award-winning financial services startup during the dot-com boom
  • Developed clients’ online communications strategies and websites with (now-defunct) marchFIRST
  • Guided executive teams at IBM, 3M, and HP through strategic innovation initiatives that wove together industry foresight, customer insights, and internal alignment to create future businesses
  • Received my MBA from Georgetown University and my BA in sociology from Brandeis University

When I’m not online, I like to run, in-line skate, spin, strength-train, cook without recipes, support the whole grain movement, drink strong decaf, search for the world’s best scone, picnic, drive faster than I should, explore new places, and dream of traveling to exotic destinations.

I live in Washington, DC with my husband Paul, my daughter Aviva, and my son Joshua. Tweet me–@mixtmedia–if you’re going to be in DC and want to join me at my favorite Starbucks.

    Nice! Actually, I bumped into your site through a link from the New York Times. Your site was an option on the ReadWriteWeb site/blog.

    Yours looks like a good lesson in 21st century’inforpreneurship’. Except I did not see the subscription button.

    Any mailing list?

    Thanks,

    Hi Maxine!

    I actually got your name/twitter info from Nicolette! You have such an interesting background/blog! Hopefully there will be another Government 2.0 Camp in the future (and maybe you could give me a few pointers on holding a Multimedia Camp?)

    Thanks!

    Maxine,

    I find your work very interesting and I believe we may have even spoken months ago. I would be interested in chatting with you and seeing if there are some synergies in working together.

    Great blog – very informative and thought-provoking.
