BULLETIN:  Interviewing a Forward-Thinking Company and Boss in Jacksonville Florida ...

I am accepting inquiries from forward-thinking, dynamic companies in the Jacksonville, Florida area. I am actively seeking to secure a meaningful relationship with a very special company AND boss who truly understand that harnessing social media today can be a plus for the company’s bottom-line.  That, plus a need for creative and analytical marketing experience!

For nearly 5 years, I was the Marketing Manager for a Fortune 100 company.  In October 2004, I left that great company to start my own company, Jaguar Julie Designs.  In February 2007, I shifted my focus a bit and joined a start-up company as their Marketing Director.  After 3.5 years and going from $0 in annual sales to some $7 million in annual sales, I am now ready for a new challenge ... Interviewing a Forward-Thinking Company and Boss in Jacksonville Florida.

Throughout any given day, you'll find me wearing many hats as the owner of Jaguar Julie Designs, as a Marketing Director, and as a Squidoo lensmaster! 

October 2004, Jaguar Julie Designs:  For the next year and a half, I was busy wearing many hats, so to speak.  I did website design, online selling, marketing consulting, and some blogging.  It was not until March 2006 that my online focus experienced a shift towards more of an involvement in the social media sites.  Two of the first such sites were Stylehive and Squidoo; I joined both of these sites in March 2006 and split my time between the two over the next many months.  At that time, I received the challenge from the folks at Squidoo HQ to qualify and become a Giant Squid with 100 quality lenses by early September 2007.  Well, Squidoo scaled back the number to 50, but knowing me, I made it to 100 despite a hard drive crash at the end of August.

So now, I Squidoo ... Do You?  I'm now fairly immersed on Squidoo as a lensmaster who's authored well over 625 lenses along with being a groupmaster managing some 6 groups which were converted into lens-groups.  My 'pet' charity is First Coast No More Homeless Pets [FCNMHP].  I was thrilled to raise $500 for FCNMHP from one lens that competed in the Superhero Project and was tapped for LOTD.  In 2009, I contributed some $3,000 directly to FCNMHP, not including the royalties raised for this charity through Squidoo lenses. 

I've had three of my lenses featured as the Lens of the Day which is a terrific honor in of itself; plus a trafffic-generator.  I am also a member of the Giant Squids 100 Club and a Squid Angel Emeritus 3x.  My purple star lenses include  Stuffed Cabbage, The Journal of the Traveling Squid, Patio With Stone Pavers, Best Eight Layer Salad, Jaguar Julie -- Lensography of a WAHWW, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Distinguished Visitor, and Christmas Fruitcake. To know more about me and what I've authored on Squidoo, check out my with my self-titled Jaguar Julie Lensography.  Are you ready to give Squidoo a try for yourself?  Get ready and sign up.

Blog, Blog, Blog ... Well, yes I started off first as a blogger, but feel myself torn in so many directions these days!  I have two different types of blogs, the original one is Jaguar Julie :: Blog On! which was launched in December 2004.  Wow, that is over 5 years!  When I started on Squidoo, my poor blog seemed to suffer a bit of neglect.  In 2008, to further promote the relevancy, spot-on phenomenon of Squidoo lenses, I created a second blog, that is uniquely titled Topicability.  Generally, when I post on that blog, it is a most unique subject that has hit the radar.

Facebook and MySpace ... In early 2008, I decided to explore some of the other social media platforms and have found Facebook to be an interesting mix in that it seems akin to what I've become accustomed to with the modules within the Squidoo build-a-lens, workshop mode.  I had tried MySpace a few years ago, but totally removed my account after several months as I didn't like what I was seeing.  I've decided to give MySpace another chance, but alas -- I found that someone else was using my ID!  So, if you are looking for me on MySpace, I'm known as thejaguarjulie.  And, I am a blonde you know!!!

Zazzle Store ... I resisted for a long time the urge to razzle dazzle on Zazzle.  I opened a store for Shirts With a Bit of An Attitude to complement my Squidoo lenses.  The store blossomed into quite a variety of Attitude Shirts!
