Session 2A: Kickstart Your Career via Social Media by Giovanni Gallucci
Giovanni lives two passions. On one hand he is a recovering .NET programmer turned online brand strategist and Internet journeyman. Giovanni develops strategy for online marketing and audience development for forward-thinking clients interested in breaking new ground online in music, television, film, missions, and causes. On the other hand he is a professional photographer, digital filmmaker, and editor. He is currently working with “Troubadour, TX,” a docu-reality TV series airing on over 100 TV stations nationwide, and “Should’ve Been Born With Wheels,” a reality TV show featuring country singer Shawna Russell, currently in production with CRM Studios in Dallas, Texas, among other projects.
Giovanni will be speaking on the emerging importance of social media, particularly its importance and usefulness in landing a great job in the field of design.
4. Howdy
I’m a hack.
I have no business teaching anyone anything about getting
a job because I’m naturally unemployable but - for some
reason I’ve been blessed with some success online and
have built a few cool teams.
So, I’ll not teach. I’ll just show you what works for me.

Passion: “I have never had a job I was not passionate
about.” - Kurt Podeszwa (Camp For All)
If you are not passionate about what you’re doing, stop.
I’m serious.
Just stop.

8. BEFORE
We need to reset:
Anyone who says social media is
free and easy doesn’t know squat
about running an effective social
media campaign.

9. BEFORE
FOR EXAMPLE: Building a portfolio (translated: work, write, design,
or shoot for free sometimes.)
But, DO NOT establish the value for your product/services at $0.00. NEVER
be available for anyone for free when THEY request your time. NEVER.

10. BEFORE
Easy enough (kind of) if you are doing this for your
own brand. But if you are doing this for an employer
or a customer, it just stopped being “free”.

11. Plan, plan,
and plan some
more.
BEFORE
Site review,
scheduling, shot list,
backup equipment,
batteries, know where
your exits are, know
alternate entrances...
Building a compelling brand doesn’t
just happen. It takes work. (I know, yuk.)
