I am Donna DeClemente, the primary blogger for Donna's Promo Talk which I first launched back in February of 2007 when I decided to join the social media world. This blog is written for marketers to help keep them up to date on the latest promotions and trends in the online industry and the integration of promotional and social media marketing. I have an extensive and diverse background in which I have assisted many brands, agencies, not-for profits and start-ups over the years to develop and implement a wide variety of their marketing and communications needs. After holding several key agency positions, including that of agency president at a top 100 promotional marketing firm, I founded DDC Marketing Group, which specializes in social media, search, promotional and brand marketing communications. I launched Social Sweeps marketing services which leverage the benefits of combining promotions with social media and manage these types of promotions for clients at the American Sweepstakes & Promotion Company.
