In this episode of Inside JMS, hosts Kevin Stoker and Dave Nourse sit down with part time instructor and social media entrepreneur, Jamie Grolie. Jamie traces her unlikely path into social media marketing, from being told to “do the Facebook page” before social media marketing was really a thing to launching Spitfire Social Media in Las Vegas. She shares how running an agency eventually led her to the classroom, where she brings real clients, data, and industry challenges into her social media advertising courses.
Along the way, Jamie discusses why there is no secret sauce for social media success, how teaching has made her a better marketer, and why students should worry less about following a perfectly linear career path. We also learn how a Bay Area native who initially came to Las Vegas “kicking and screaming” eventually made Southern Nevada home.
