Biography

He has been called "an unstoppable force of nature," "the best corporate social media lead on the planet," and Alan Mulally, the CEO of Ford Motor Company, called him "a visionary."

Currently on the staff of corporate communications in Ford Motor Company, Scott heads up the social media function and holds the title Global Digital & Multimedia Communications Manager. He is a strategic advisor on all social media activities across the company, from blogger relations to marketing support, customer service to internal communications and more, as social media is being integrated into many facets of Ford business.

Prior to joining Ford, Scott served as Consigliere for crayon and spent a number of years with PJA Advertising + Marketing, a boutique BtoB agency specializing in health sciences & high tech.

In addition to his consulting and agency background, Scott is an active blogger and podcaster. He writes about the intersection of advertising, marketing and PR at The Social Media Marketing Blog and also writes The Baker Street Blog, a literary undertaking. Scott has been featured in hundreds of news and business publications in print and on the web, in nearly twenty books, and on a variety of broadcast media, including NPR, CNN and Fox Business News. Scott is a recognized thought leader in the social media industry and frequently speaks at industry events.

Scott received his Master's in Medical Science from Boston University's School of Medicine concurrently with his MBA from BU's Graduate School of Management. He lives in the greater Detroit area with his wife and two young sons, golfs all too infrequently, and has a hidden talent for voice over work.

Oh, and one last little-known fact: Scott coined the Oxford Dictionary of English-accepted term "tweetup."

What does Google+ really mean for marketers?

Ford was the first brand on Google+ in July 2011 and remained whitelisted even after Google banned other brands. Learn why Ford was there so early. Learn what’s different about Google+ for a brand that makes it so special. Learn the implications that go beyond the confines of the platform itself.

Ford's Social Media Success Story

Social media is a global phenomenon and companies small and large are finding that they're being thrust into it, whether they want to or not. For companies that have a global presence, it can be difficult to gain trust, attention and remain consistent across borders. Ford Motor Company has been recognized as a leader with its social media efforts, but how has the automotive giant made it possible to keep a comprehensive strategy across the six continents on which it does business?
