Hey all! I’m Will, a social media strategist at Hurrdat. I plan and execute social media content for our clients. It’s my job to generate engaging online conversations and connect consumers with brands and products that are important to them.
I first started at Hurrdat in the summer of 2015 as a research + analytics intern. This was my first real foray into the world of social media, and I knew right away that it was the field where I wanted to build my career. Less than two years after my internship ended, I was offered a full-time position at Hurrdat, and now I get to spend my days here doing what I love.
I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May 2016, armed with my camera and a degree in Advertising and Public Relations. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about the English language; when I was in elementary school, I used to get in trouble with my teachers for reading books underneath my desk. That obsession has only grown with age, and now I find myself reveling in the nuance of language (and over-reacting at the smallest of typos).
I spend a lot of my free time reading David Sedaris books and listening to old Bob Dylan records. I’ve often joked that I have an addiction to media consumption, and when I’m not obsessively scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, one can usually find me drinking coffee or trying to take pictures of my cat.
Guilty Pleasures: Mad Men, golden retrievers, and breakfast food.
Will’s Fast Facts
Have you ever had a strange pet? I had a pair of turtles that I kept in my fraternity in college named Mac and Dev. I used to take them on walks on campus.
When you were younger, what did you “want to be when you grow up?” An Architect.
The best part of waking up is? As a whole, mornings are pretty terrible for me. After I get that first cup of coffee, things start looking up.
