Karen Marie Cyr

Social Media Specialist

Karen Cyr

I began working in customer service in my early high school years. During this time, I developed my ability to help businesses improve internal organization systems and marketing, which later afforded me the opportunity to hold management positions with successful legal, market research, restaurant and retail companies at a young age.  As a high school senior, I was honored to serve as the President of Jobs for Florida Grads, and volunteered to represent the organization as a state level keynote speaker.  When social media began to emerge globally as the one of the foremost ways to improve customer relations through technology, I discovered my passion.  I was very fortunate to have early training in computer technology paired with diverse business experience, which is critical for social media management.  Prior to joining CCH Marketing and Events, I was a social media specialist for XE Corporation and an independent social media consultant for several upstart businesses and charities.   At CCH Marketing and Events, we strive to deliver the total package of services that enable our clients to be current and cutting edge in their approach to public relations.  It is an exciting time for social marketing and I look forward to helping each of our clients benefit fully from this media.

Interests:

A Florida native, I grew up in Sarasota and still love the gulf beaches.  I have always had a passion for the visual and performing arts, particularly dance and art design.  I am a self-professed technology nerd who loves to stay current on the latest in gadgets, design and gaming.  When I need a break from the computer screen, you can find me at yoga, pilates, cooking or running in charity 5Ks.
