About Me

Tyler Hurst is the epitome of the modern writer. His career began over
five years ago when media was still battling with the transition from print to
digital, and instead of fighting it, he embraced it. While working for
kontaktmag and the Downtown Phoenix Journal, he focused on getting the
real story and giving it wings using technology. His feature articles,
breaking news, and award winning creative gained recognition nationwide not
only for their content, but for what he was able to do with them in the
online space. Tyler was responsible for bridging the gap between magazines
and the web and has spent years becoming a social media expert that has
gained a following that boasts him a "top influencer" position according to
many ranking entities.

While still working as a freelance journalist for major publications, Tyler
now utilizes his vast understanding of social media well beyond the blog to
help brands extend their conversation into the larger online landscape. A
self-proclaimed tech-geek, Tyler helps set your social media on fire -
extending it into depths of blogs, online news sites, social networks, and
Twitter - and does so naturally. Currently, Tyler serves as the VP of
Social Media for Amanda Vega Consulting, the oldest social media management
agency in the world. His continuous interaction with the influencers and
press online helps him to create and manage social media plans, as well as a
team of over 100 subject matter experts to create solid social media plans
that work.
