    About The Presenter


    Tracey Lee Davis


    Whether Tracey is training someone how to do it themselves or just taking care of it for them, she loves helping small businesses with their online marketing needs.

    In her previous career as the Director of Operations of a small business in the Pet Care Industry, she developed a fondness for small, local businesses and is a firm believer in supporting mom and pop shops whenever possible. Social Media exploded onto the scene while in that career, and she was HOOKED. Tracey started attending seminars and training sessions to learn all she could to help that small business have a relevant voice in the social media conversation. Her love of all things social and passion for supporting small business made for a very easy choice to transition into the world of social media marketing full time from my past career. Now as a Certified Content Marketing Strategist, Tracey loves helping small businesses achieve their marketing goals, and help them have a great time while doing it!

    Tracey is a Certified Solution Provider for Constant Contact; a Hootsuite Certified Professional and Hootsuite Ambassador; and the Co-Owner and Vice President of the Women's Networking Alliance.

    When she's not playing on the internet or presenting to small business owners, you can find her reading voraciously on my Kindle; rooting for the San Jose Sharks; singing along to the radio; traveling to exotic destinations; catching the latest comic book movie with copious amounts of movie theater popcorn; eating lots and lots of cheese; and pretending to know more about wine than whether one is white or red.
