Wendy applies and follows specific social media strategy and frameworks for assessments, network growth, participation and implementation from the Society3  Academy (Palo Alto, CA), where she is an Alumni, founding member and faculty.  Wendy was also a co-founder of Social Business Consulting Group , an international consultancy group with 80 social media strategists, specialists and technical staff, all trained in a uniform, client-proven methodology.

Teaching and Training Clients

Soucie’s strength is her blend of social media savy, engineering process thinking,  hunter sales methodology, product management and Internet marketing expertise.  As a skilled trainer and speaker, she excels at teaching clients to make the leap from strategy to action and–ultimately–independence. She is an accomplished professional speaker and holds a training certification from Integrated Alliances, a national training firm on LinkedIn and social media tools.

Today more than ever, organizations need skilled strategists like her, who understand their unique value propositions and who can help them take advantage of the latest marketing and social media tools to engage clients and drive business.
