Liz McClendon

Social Media Manager, Customer Magnetism

Liz McClendon is the social media manager for Customer Magnetism, a local company, as well as one of the top ten search engine marketing firms in the US.

Ms. McClendon has earned two degrees from Virginia Tech, graduating in 2008 with her Bachelor of Arts in English, and then in 2009 with her Master of Arts in English Education. During her time in graduate school, her specialization was in education, but her focus was on technology, as she was invited to speak at the 2009 National Conference of Teachers of English on integrating technology into the classroom. She gained part of her social media experience writing for Blast Magazine, an entertainment and technology magazine based in Boston, Massachusetts, where her articles consistently drew in the highest weekly numbers due to her social networking savvy.

Her videos on YouTube have been featured on MTV’s blog and Reelz Channel, and she has to honestly attribute that success to the fact that the videos were made with the prime, specific intention to make people laugh. Who doesn’t love to laugh?

A resident of Norfolk, Liz loves to support local culture by participating in open mics and playing shows around the area, as well as writing for AltDaily.com.
