Collin Douma (on Twitter @CollinDouma) is someone who has a good handle on social media and very active in the space. As Proximity Canada looks to strength their offering in this growing area of communications they’ve hired Collin in a newly created role as Vice President, Social Media. In this new role he’ll be responsible for expanding Proximity’s social media offering to both existing and new clients. Most recently Collin was with Hill & Knowlton as part of the public relations firm’s digital practice. Prior to Hill & Knowlton, he was with Social Media Group working on the Ford account as a lead strategist and account planner. Over the last 14 years in the Interactive industry he has worked on accounts such as WarChild Canada, Motorola, Hewlett Packard, Intel, the Government of Ontario, General Motors and Coca-Cola.
He did confirm that he is actively looking to build up his team and looking to hire.
This is interesting. Since leaving Canada (now in LA doing internet marketing) I haven’t really followed the Canadian industry…Profectio looks pretty slick. Will be interesting to see what other things that they can achieve with Colin on board now. (I work for Wpromote Inc.)
