Internet Marketing Ninjas, an industry leading Internet marketing company, is excited to announce that blogger, writer, social media influencer, and SEO expert, Ann Smarty, has relocated from her home in Kharkiv, Ukraine – halfway around the world – to settle in upstate New York to work as a full-time member of the Internet Marketing Ninjas team. Smarty will be joining the executive staff as the company’s Branding & Community Manager. She has been a featured guest blog contributor with IMN for the past nine months and will continue to share her SEO knowledge through the Internet Marketing Ninjas’ blog and their communities; she will also be instrumental in client community development and website analysis.
“I’m thrilled to have Ann, who is so knowledgeable in the art of online marketing and in community building, working by my side,” said Internet Marketing Ninjas’ Founder and CEO, Jim Boykin. As Branding & Community Manager, Smarty will be working on the IMN community, and other communities recently bought by IMN. She will also be working with IMN clients to build brand awareness and develop community engagement. She will also be assisting with the websites, communities, and networks recently acquired by Boykin and IMN, including Cre8asiteforums, SEO Chat forums, and other websites within the Developer Shed Network.
“I've worked for a few Internet marketing companies around the globe, but Internet Marketing Ninjas is the only one for which I was eager to move to and become a part of. Jim was the first person I learned from when entering the SEO industry, so I am very excited to have the opportunity to work next to him now,” said Smarty, regarding her relocation and involvement with Internet Marketing Ninjas. Having been a featured guest blogger with Internet Marketing Ninjas since January of 2012, the move to New York will allow her to share her expertise and take on a more prevalent role within IMN and their clients’ sites.
Smarty’s years of online marketing experience will also benefit the IMN analysis and client reporting team, and will be a vital aspect of the company’s future marketing tools development.
