From my recommendations:

 

“In a sea of shameless promoters and so-called social media experts, Janet Fouts is the real deal. From her robust experience with all things digital to her vast knowledge of today's bleeding edge social media tools and technologies, Janet is that rare professional who 'gets' it all. Her work repeatedly soars above and beyond what's expected for the project and always reflects a deep understanding of the next-new-thing and how it can be applied to the client company's success. I wish that anyone searching for a *true* social media expert could spend 5 minutes with Janet Fouts (or attend one of her workshops) -- their search would end on the spot.”

Sarah Brown -The Guru of New

 

“Janet understands social media and has an extensive network in online marketing and web development. She is a good communicator, who listens closely to the needs of the client, creatively assesses, makes connections, and provides direct, honest feedback and concrete, actionable recommendations.”

Jill Finlayson-Skoll Foundation

 

“Janet is wonderful to work with. She’s clear, thorough, creative, and always on the prowl for cutting edge technologies to meet her client’s needs. I’m constantly amazed at her ability to deliver on time regardless of what twists and turns a project may take. It’s easy to collaborate with Janet and I never worry about the outcome. I look forward to working with Janet in the future.” Elisabeth Sporleder- Principal- E. Sporleder Consulting

 

"Janet did an excellent job helping our team to get on board with social media, including blogging and Twitter. Within two months of the launch of our blog social media accounted for 5% of our website traffic. Our goal is 10% within 8 months (of launch)."
Greg Ness- Infoblox


"We just launched a new press web site for the Exploratorium, which Janet and Tatu Digital Media worked with us to plan and then build. Janet's project management expertise, social media know-how, and 'what works on the web today' insight were invaluable to the project. I appreciate her ability to communicate with non-technical people and to think about and plan for information work-flow in systems she builds. It was important to find someone who is plugged-in to the emerging social media scene and to help advise us on better ways to reach out online to the project's target community. Janet knows how to setup sites that promote sharing information and community interaction. I look forward to working with her on a project again."
