How do you introduce yourself to people you meet in business?

With a B.A. in Corporate Communications and a M.A. in Publication Design from the University of Baltimore, Kerry has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in Marketing and Communications. She is experienced in developing and strengthening corporate brand identities and has managed brands for a variety of organizations. She specializes in integrating these practices into strategic marketing plans. In November 2007, Kerry added recruitment marketing and employment branding to her profile when she joined Sodexo's Talent Acquisition Group as a Marketing Communications Manager. In this fast paced digitally connected era of email, blogs, Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and more the ability to connect with a company goes beyond the "About Us" section on a website. Sodexo, like many companies, has embraced social media because it’s becoming one of the most popular forms of communication among all generations and it allows them to take an active role in their online presence and build personal relationships with candidates and employees. Kerry has the privilege of working with a team of recruiting professionals who are committed to finding the best qualified candidates and who are open to learning new ways to recruit Sodexo's future employees. Through Social Media Marketing Sodexo's Talent Acquisition team set out to create positive experiences for their candidates, which in turn strengthened their employment brand. Once Sodexo started using social networking sites to connect with people, it didn't take long before they started to build relationships with potential candidates and connect with fellow employees around the world. Under Kerry's direction, social media marketing and social networking has become a significant part of the recruiting strategy at Sodexo in the US.
