The cool kids at Rosetta Stone thought my Rosetta Stone Blog bio first draft was very funny but a little bizarre and they asked for something else — not stiff but also not zany. I asked my lovely Intern, Ellie Brown, to give it a go and she did not just smashing but swimmingly!
Thousands of people around the world know exactly what Chris Abraham had for lunch yesterday. With 13,000 followers on Twitter, two popular blogs of his own, and posts on Digital Next blog and SocialMedia.biz, Chris is widely followed and generally considered an interesting guy. So on the contrary, his content is far from the despised “what I had for lunch” post, as Chris frequently imparts his knowledge of social media, salivates over expensive cars, and documents his adventures as an American living in Berlin, Germany.
In between his trips across the Atlantic to and from his homes in Washington, D.C. and Berlin, Chris runs a social media marketing agency called Abraham Harrison LLC with his business partner, Mark Harrison. AHLLC has 35 employees from 12 countries around the world and the diversity of culture and language makes staff meetings less like, well staff meetings, and more like a UN summit. Many employees could conduct the meeting in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, German or a combination of all 5 languages at once. The diversity of staff has allowed AHLLC to retain clients like Brazil-based OLX, (insert other international clients) as well as Team USA in the winter Olympics, the Fresh Air Fund and Habitat for Humanity.
Not wanted to be one-upped by his staff (again), Chris is trying to remedy his lingual shortcomings by learning German with Rosetta Stone. He also would like to impress his friends in Berlin with his fluent, witty, dinner party conversation in German.
Chris resides in both Washington, D.C. and Berlin. He can be found most places on the Internet, including on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/chrisabraham), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/chrisabraham), and LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisabraham). His insights on social media marketing, the BMW, and Berlin dinner parties can be found at http://www.marketingconversation.com and http://chrisabraham.com.
What do you think? Is this a second draft or a final draft?
