STEFANY SANDERS
Stefany was a digital native before the term was even coined, which makes her eminently qualified to serve as our Director of Social Media. She is much in demand as a key strategist for our client and sales teams and as the in-house expert who keeps us educated on new developments on the social media and digital communications frontier.
She was Director of Communications for the Georgia Tech College of Computing for five years, positioning the institution to compete internationally. She developed an award-winning branding campaign that helped land the school’s graduate program a “top 10” rating from U.S. News and World Report and reversed dramatically shrinking computer science enrollments after the “dot bomb” years. Stefany has a passion for the measureable, data-supported nature of the digital communications realm but has won close to 20 career and industry awards for both her traditional and new media strategies. It’s no wonder that Georgia Tech named Stefany “Communicator of the Year” in 2010.
Her prior work includes time spent as the Senior Communications Officer for the Georgia Centers for Advanced Telecommunications Technology and time working as an interactive consultant and producer with a multi-national public relations firm.
A native of Annapolis, Maryland, Stefany returned to D.C. just before 9/11 to strategize and implement online communications for national political organizations and advocacy groups. The experience was pivotal on many levels, not the least of which was her decision to swap life inside the Capital Beltway permanently for life inside Atlanta’s perimeter.
Stefany is what’s known around here as a “Double Dawg,” since she earned both her Bachelor of Arts in journalism and her master of mass communications degrees from The University of Georgia’s Grady School. A scuba diver, she enjoys as-frequent-as-possible trips to the Caribbean to swim with the sharks. While on land, she is into books, running and recipe experimentation in Morningside, where she lives with her husband, Robert, baby Warren, and dog, Chompsky. Follow her on Twitter @StefanySays!
