Monica Howard is MonicaAnnette Social Media Services

The Atlanta native is a small business social media consultant who began her career in sales and business development, working for companies such as MCI, Cox Communications, Marriott International, and Hyatt Hotels. She enhanced her business acumen by managing sales and training teams, as well as $3 million+ annual sales and marketing budgets.

Monica began her entrepreneurial adventures in 2004 designing custom wedding invitations, and later small business websites. These business ventures led to her love of all things ‘social media’! Her motto, ‘Media is for the Social’, is born of the belief that all small business owners, new or established, can benefit from social media… if it’s done with purpose and consistency!

Monica is a graduate of The University of Georgia and Capella University with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, respectively. She has spent time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta.

Personally, she relishes her role as Mom to her daughter Morgan, enjoys swimming, tennis, jazz concerts in the park, and is a huge dog lover!
