PURPLE BLAB

Remember Dee, our Social Media Maven? She is also our Chief Tweet Officer, YouTube whisperer, and Facebook queen… She’s the one who is always finding new tricks of the social media trade and giving us intra-office lessons every week. And we could not imagine a day online without her.

This is her homage to Twitter… BTW, soft plug – please follow us on Twitter if you’re not!

So, you guys already know that I’m Purple Lab’s Social Media Chanteuse (again, sick title) but do you really know what I do?

You may think Crisis Management PR is only relevant to publicists who represent celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, politicians like Elliot Spitzer and models like Kate Moss (our favorite who always comes out on top). Well, think again! Beauty publicists need to be schooled in Crisis Management PR too, right alongside Paris Hilton’s peeps.

Not sure who was hanging out on YouTube last Saturday night at 10pm, but I can tell you who was…me!

Purple Lab ran into a bit of a PR crisis two week ago after posting what we thought to be a successful Dayton, Ohio news segment featuring Huge Lips Skinny Hips.

What is a social media chanteuse? It is Dee! That is literally her title on her Purple Lab business card. I met her on Twitter – she tweeted me that she was a “Glambassador” and linked me to her blog, The Candid Commentary. She wanted to cover Purple Lab. We met for mani pedi and it was love! She started working with me the following week and she oversees all things social media.

Dee, take it away…

True story: I spend about 70% of my time online.

That's me, the Social Media Chanteuse
