To say we are excited about Amber joining us would be an understatement. Please read on.

It was just before Christmas when we decided to post two new roles at Radian6, with one focused on community outreach.  The interest in the role was tremendous (thanks to all who reached out to us).  With just a couple of tweets from us the news spread fast and by the next morning we have over 600 visits to our job posting page and numerous resumes from some amazing candidates.

Radian6 owes a lot of it’s success to it’s wonderful community.  From numerous blog posts to fastastic shows of support on Twitter the community has carried us to places we never would have imagined.  And for that we are humbled and truly grateful.  We’ve always maintained that we should be very accessible to our community (while we are no Zappos yet we have at least 28 active Twitter accounts – which I will include at the bottom of this post if you’d like to connect with any or all of us.)  And not want to stopping there we aim to bring more to the community.

As some of you know Amber has been a valuable part of our PR, marketing and community efforts over the past 6 months.  I first met Amber via a Plurkshop we held where I got to talk about social media monitoring and Amber volunteered to miraculously boil down the one hour and 600+ plurks into a great summary post.  I knew then that I’d love to find a way to join forces and work on a number of our projects together.  And we did, being one of the lucky ones to get some of her precious time as a client of her successful consulting firm.

Amber is well respected for her knowledge of the social media space, a wonderful friend and supporter of the community and a blast to work with.   We are totally thrilled and humbled that she decided to join the Radian6 team.

So please join us as we sing out at the top of our lungs – “Welcome to Radian6, Amber”
