Introducing Itteco Community Manager

Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by Ivan Paramonau in blog

On behalf of Team Itteco, I am happy to introduce and welcome our new hire – Sasha Kovaliov has just become our community manager.

Sasha is long time geek and shares our passion on starting something new. We trust Sasha will bring in vibes and energize our community as we are preparing for opening up the curtain on our platform.

Here is the first message of Sasha as our community manager:

Hi guys,

My name is Sasha Kovaliov and I’ve just started working with Itteco as a community manager and social media marketer. I’m glad to join the team of such an innovative company and I’ll sure try to make Itteco shine and stand out (kudos to Ivan Paramonau .

A bit about myself: I’ve been working in software outsourcing domain for the last 3 years at a sales and marketing department, so I know how the gears rotate. Being constantly hooked up to the Internet I’ve became a social media obsessed freak, but it did me good at the end. Social Internet has become a major destination point for all demographic and cultural groups out there and new skills and connections suddenly became useful. Little by little I’ve started doing some social media marketing and could never look back.

So, why do we need a community manger, you might ask. To be on the Internet today doesn’t mean you have to be on Google (however, this one is intact as well) – rather you have to listen and participate in conversation with your customers and partners. Brands are becoming social, they are creating communities of like-minded people and receive innovation feedback, praises and insults, just like in real world. Internet is shifting to social, relations-driven paradigm. If you are not here to listen and comfort your clients – they’ll go to some other better place, where they can be heard. That’s why it’s essential for Itteco to listen and engage with customers, developers networks and build a strong inside community to achieve tangible results faster.

I’d like to ask you for a favor. Some of you might already have twitter accounts – please leave your twitter nicknames in the comments so we can all follow each other and strengthen our twitter network considerably. If you still haven’t joined the bird, no worries – it’s never late I would also recommend a great book for a easy start. If you ever have any questions regarding twitter – just let me know and I’ll help.

Itteco has a sophisticated social engine to back up its community. Information sharing is essential in today’s rapidly changing world so let’s start blogging! Each of us has something to say once in a while, don’t hold your thoughts to yourself, don’t be greedy , share with us your ideas, news, vision, best practices, tips, etc. E.g. recently Pavel shared with us his email management tips (link). For a quick start on how to blog come here.

That’s it for now. I’ll be glad to answer any of your questions and if you ever need my help – i’m always here. Please, don’t forget to let me know your @nicknames (or register) and think of something you’ve been waiting to write about (when done thinking don’t forget to blog!).

Welcome to the team, Sasha!
