Hey hey, everyone! My name is Elsie Dru Miles (I go by my first and middle names, “Elsie Dru”, not just my first name).  Anyone else have a double name or go by multiple names?

Anyhoo, I live in the BEAUTIFUL Western North Carolina mountains!! As for social media marketing (heck, social media, period), I’m new to a lot of it. I’m almost 36, so my knowledge of social media and how it all works is…we’ll just say, it’s less than most.   I’ve only been using Sprout for a few months, so I decided that this community might help me learn more about the social media marketing world. I don’t have any particular questions, yet, since I don’t even really know what to ask. But, I’ll settle in as I move forward and have questions eventually.

Something unique about me…hmm. I’m just a weird individual overall, so this is a tough question. Hahaha! My little unique fact can be that I’m a huge Atlanta Braves fan and have a big Braves tattoo on my left back/shoulder area. I’ve been on the Jumbotron at almost every game I’ve attended at Truist Park…because I dance like a fool. Gotta have fun, right? 

Looking forward to getting to know y’all! 

Christina in Wisconsin here, where we got our first snow yesterday. It seems there are a million things to do in Sprout Social, and I think I can pull of one… maybe two. Looking forward to unpeeling this onion one layer at a time because there’s just not enough hours in a day.

Hello Arboretum Community,

I'm Tasha from NYC, working as a Corporate Marketing Specialist in an AEC firm. Our unique seller-doer model spans multiple consultants and projects nationwide, creating a distinct approach to social media and marketing.

As the firm's Social Media manager, I've embraced Sprout Social to streamline managing our social platforms, and will be using it to introduce the first-ever social media metrics to our firm. I'm eager to engage with this community for insights and guidance and am hopeful that Sprout Social will be a game-changer for our marketing efforts.

On a lighter note, I'm an avid anime/manga enthusiast, especially a One Piece fan – always ready to share recommendations!

Looking forward to vibrant exchanges here,

Tasha

Welcome everyone! Love learning more about you all and love the Wisconsin picture! So glad you’ve joined us. 

Hi everyone! I’m Alicia and I’m a Social Media & Brand Manager at a SaaS enterprise LMS company. I’ve been using Sprout since 2018 but am new to the Arboretum Community! In previous roles/companies, I used Sprout solely for its publishing and reporting capabilities. Now, I’m excited to dive deeper into Social Listening and using Sprout data to inform our strategy.

I’d love to learn more from the Community about how they leverage and optimize Listening!

Fun fact about me, I’m a competitive powerlifter and compete in the 47kg weight class!

Happy first day of  December! Helga here from higher ed law school in the New England area.
I am a returning Sprout Social user this year, owing to the employment transition.
I found Arboretum through an email from Sprout and as--
1.  I have transitioned from managing a marketing department with a specialist for social media to now handling both strategy and social media posting directly; and
2.  upgrading to a higher level Sprout subscription, I believe being part of this community will behoove me.

I have been engaged in marketing for 25 years in various industries--mostly B2B and a few B2C--for profit and non. What is exciting for me right now is this is my first time working in higher ed, and a law school at that, so I am definitely up for learning new things that I can apply to power up our social media goal.

Looking forward to the engagement!
