About

With all these different outlets on the web it is always good to have one space in which one can collect all information. Although this means yet another web site to look after. ;)

If you want to read more of my stuff I use google plus for longer texts, twitter and facebook to different degrees – and yes I do post about this social media stuff. :)

By trade I am a consultant with a focus on what I call digital craftsmanship. A friend of mine put it a bit differently: “You are turning Social Media bullshit into reality” , meaning I am working with clients on how to use these tools properly (setup, workflows, procedures, etc) and do analysis and assesment. From execution to coaching and mentoring, everything can be discussed. Take a look at the services I am offering and feel free to ping me.

My customers are companies and individuals, from Social Media Managers to startups. With a background of 15 years in the corporate world and a deep technical knowledge I can work from with any size of business, understanding the needs of small businesses as much as the requirements of bigger corporation.

With a ‘Silicon Valley mindset but European at heart” I love to help bridge the gap into the international world.

I live in Lübeck, Germany and finally plan to move to Berlin in April of 2012! ;)

Currently I am looking for:

  • European Podcasters for the “European Podcast Awards“
  • requests from international and German journalists who want to ask over 250 German bloggers for expertise / interview partners

A more official version if you need it

Nicole Simon is a European Web 2.0 / Social Media Specialist from Germany and probably best known for her cruel to be kind feedback and her podcast interviews. She has  published  a book about how to use Twitter for private and personal endeavours.

She consults companies and organisations who want to know how to use the tools of the trade; also she is a sought-after sparrings partner especially for startups. She loves to bring different communities together and helps them learn from each other. She also runs the German Girl Geek Dinners, co-moderates the forum Global Business Women on Xing and serves as advisory / jury member for several European conferences like next and the Web 2.0 Expo Europe. And of course you can find her on twitter.
