11th Hour Brilliance

I’m a geek. Growing up as part of the MTV generation, my attention span is not much longer than that of a goldfish. I fondly remember the first time I got onto the web at the college library.  Geek. I’m always connected and have a purse full of gadgets.  Seriously, I found three thumb drives in there the other day. Big geek. I can’t function without my iPhone.  I would rather hang at the Apple store than go to a club…hey! martinis at the Apple store!  That’s an idea…sorry…concentrate (total geek).  But, every now and again, I have flashes of brillance (mostly at the 11th hour).

My name is Shannon Kmak.  I manage Analyst Relations for Perot Systems.  I love the company because it still has that entrepreneurial spirit, and who wouldn’t love seeing Ross Perot in the cafeteria!?! I’m an army of one. 

The boring stuff – I have a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and a Masters degree in Marketing and Strategy. I’ve always worked in the high-tech services industry, from product development to managing client accounts and back to marketing. I love being able to explain really complex ideas in a simplified manner - which comes in handy since my family has no idea what I do.

I love integrated marketing. The science behind getting the right message to the right people.  I’ve learned to incorporate new marketing tools in order to get my message to more people.  (remember, I’m an army of one…and a geek)  I hope that you can use what you find here to help with your job.  And, if you care to share, please do.  If you want to contact me outside of the blog, you can reach me at shannon_kmak*at*yahoo*dot*com.  Geek.
