Summary

I'm an experienced web and media producer with expertise in web content management, online video production and social media. I also have a deep commitment to environmental and social justice issues, with over 10 years of experience working with values-based clients.

Whether as a video producer, web content developer, or writer, I focus on effective, persuasive communication. I work with clients to convey their core values, mission, products or services to achieve their marketing goals.

I also work on original content - hosting, directing and writing online videos that inform, inspire and empower people to take action on environmental and social justice issues.

And, of course, I also blog (http://melissasmansfield.wordpress.com/) and tweet (@melismansfield and @greengorillas) about progressive issues, green living, and media.

Specialties:

Video: on-camera talent (hosting and interviewing), production, scriptwriting, online video tools.

Web: copywriting and editing, blogging, social media, Joomla, web content architecture, project management.

Strong background in media relations, journalism, social advocacy.
