About
ABOUT JOEL MARK WITT
Basically I love great stories and characters. Always have. So – the passion behind my writing, speaking, producing, business, and life is great characters and great storytelling.
I currently work with the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore as the Associate Director of Marketing & Public Relations. Most of my time is spent implementing social media business strategies to increase the Zoo’s marketing efforts outside traditional advertising. We are proud of the online community & viral marketing we’ve built in a very short time.
In the past few years I’ve produced MarylandZoo.TV. I have also led the Zoo’s social media strategy with Twitter (@marylandzoo) and the Zoo Facebook Fan Page along with a host of other marketing and PR campaigns online and off.
I am the Publisher of Folk Media LLC, a new media production studio developing original online content for the digital age. We specialize in helping businesses and professionals produce, distribute, and promote online media like blogs, audio podcasts, video and Facebook fan pages that drive sales and profits. (See www.FolkMedia.org to see how we can help your business).
I am also engaged in the new media community, speak at several events and conferences each year, host and train at various workshops, and personally consult with businesses & professionals helping them increase sales online through social media, SEO, and content marketing.
I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and currently live in Baltimore, Maryland.
