I had the honor of meeting the owner of one of the fastest growing social media marketing companies, FingerCandyMedia.com, Jessica Northey. I wanted to interview Jessica because I’m fascinated with not only entrepreneurs, but also successful enterprises that are women-owned.
One thing that struck me about Jessica.. in addition to the fact that she is so rapidly rising on the internet as a genuine presence and authentic success, is that she is 100% client-centered and has a devotion and a hunger to succeed for her clients that is…. well… contagioius!
During our time together, I observed this dynamo juggle, move & shake business on the web like I’ve seen no one do before. Motivated? Uh… motivated… leader providing great leadership to others in marketing themselves through social media in a very big way.. well, that IS Jessica Northey!
There’s a reason this woman has over 54,000 followers on Twitter (her handle is @JessicaNorthey on Twitter) but her company, FingerCandyMedia.com is busting loose like a wild fire out of control! Stay tuned!
I don’t know about you, but how many sefl-proclaimed social media “gurus” have you met only to find they have just a few thousand followers? Seriously! Surf the net.. it seems eveyone thinks they are a social media expert after they take a weekend workshop on the subject… take a workshop and become a guru in a weekend… right???!!!! I’d never trust my social media marketing to someone who has less of a following than I do myself.
This woman was so humble during our interview. Jessica cautions me that she does not consider herself a social media marketing guru, but rather she’s just passionate about people, marketing and all things techie!
Watch out World! This is a gorgeous, single woman with a brilliant mind who is also a techie! A rare… and stellar combination!
She’s got the heart and the drive to serve anyone trying to get their message out and play a bigger game! (Jessica Northey creates Celebrities on the web… she’s got a long list of Celebrity clients! Jessica says she creates Weberities! I loved that term as it speaks to what we can all accomplish with the right kind of relationships built through the web.)
“My mom was a single mom who worked hard and was always there for me. I have a passion to help anybody who has a dream, and especially women… I want to give of myself to empower women,” says Northey as I asked her about the driving force behind FingerCandyMedia.com
Jessica lives in Tucson, Arizona with her dog, Sissy (which my 9-year-old son, Parker, could not get enough of while we interviewed Jessica!) Sissy is actually a celebrity herself, but that’s for a another blog post! (Maybe Parker will blog about Sissy on his own blog at http://Parkerisms.com )
