Lisa Barone Team Bio

Lisa Barone

Chief Branding Officer

Lisa BaroneLisa Barone is Co-Founder and Chief Branding Officer of Outspoken Media, Inc. Lisa has been involved in the SEO community since 2006 and is widely known for her honest industry observations, her inability to not say exactly what she’s thinking, and her excessive on-the-clock Twittering.

Some people save lives, Lisa saves brands. Her mission while on this Earth is to help clients build strong online communities that give their users a voice and get them excited about interacting with companies online. She dreams of empowering the little guy, using blogs the way Dave Winer intended them and helping companies do big things with the help of social media.

Having spent far too much time in journalism school, Lisa believes in the power of information and spends several weeks a year liveblogging industry conferences like PubCon, Search Engine Strategies, and Search Marketing Expo. By getting down every word and each pregnant pause, Lisa is able to help those stuck at home benefit from the knowledge that’s unveiled at conferences.

When she’s not distracting others with her feverish typing skills, Lisa also contributes to well known industry blogs like SmallBizTrends, Search Engine Land, Sugarrae and others.
