On this edition of The Manly Pinterest Tips Show, we finally completed our meet up with Azure Collier – due to some technical difficulties during her first appearance, we were delighted when she agreed to come on again.
It definitely was worth the trouble.
Azure is chock-full of great information. As the content manager at Constant Contact, she gives us an inside look at the email marketing giant.
Azure went to Purdue University as well as Fitchburg State University, where she received a degree in communications and journalism, as well as in applied communications.
A jack of all trades, prior to working at Constant Contact Azure worked at two different universities for social media marketing, multimedia content creation, website management, and public relations. She also was a journalist in Indiana.
Now she oversees Constant Contact’s Instagram and Pinterest channels.
In this edition of the show, we got a chance to talk about the inner workings of Constant Contact and how they managed to scoop up a whopping 47,976 followers on Pinterest alone! We covered tips and tricks for getting more people into email campaigns as well as how to keep your content fresh and interesting!
