Tilson PR Taps Nationally Recognized Strategist to Join Social Media Team

Tilson PR, a full-service public relations firm, announced the addition of Meaghan Edelstein as the company’s new Senior Social Media Strategist.  In her role, she will bring her years of experience to continue to build upon the firm’s digital and social content practice.

“We are thrilled to have Meaghan on our team. She is a true innovator in the social media world,” said Tracy Tilson, president of Tilson PR. “Meaghan’s background and knowledge in social media will continue to allow us to increase our services for clients looking to expand their presence and impact in the social and digital media space.”

Edelstein has extensive experience in the social media and mobile marketing world. For the past five years, she headed Spirit Jump, a nonprofit organization she founded with a mission to provide hope and comfort to men, women and children battling cancer.

Edelstein is all too familiar with this struggle as a cancer survivor herself. In 2007, she began documenting her personal battle with the disease in her blog, I Kicked Cancer’s Ass, and her efforts caught the attention of national media outlets such as Good Morning America, NPR, Cure Magazine and Mashable, where she is still a contributing writer.

Edelstein served as vice president of social media and sole event producer for Global Strategic Management Institute (GSMI), where she oversaw all social media marketing efforts and produced 17 executive level summits focused on social media, mobile marketing and blogging.

In addition to writing, Edelstein is a professional speaker, presenting at BlogWorld, NTEN, Gravity Summit and Social Media Strategies Summit.
