My Favorite Story Of 2009 Is:
Posted on 12. Dec, 2009 by BrianSimpson in Community, Hotel
Adam J. Wallace, a.k.a. @AdWal, a.k.a. great co-worker & friend. I am even writing this post from his account because he would never give himself credit so I will. It was just over one year ago that I was introduced to The Roger Smith Hotel and its cast of characters. Adam, a fellow New England’r, was running Lilys at the time and transitioning into managing all of the online strategies. Together we started a twitter account and launched a new blog called rogersmithlife.com. ( Roger Smith had a current blog rogersmithnews.com which was managed by Adam and John Knowles of Pancity). The year has been filled with baby steps, by baby steps I do not mean slow wobbly and cautious. I mean the stage of walking where the baby whacks its head on things and teeters dangerously close to the top edge of the stairs. Although we had the support of ownership we still had to prove that this ‘social media’ thing was worth while and convince the rest of the hotel we were not just ‘playing’ on Facebook.
I could not have picked a better person to work with. Adam’s belief in his work, people and the culture of Roger Smith Hotel is unrivaled. In the past year we have made so many new friends together, played some great rounds of golf
Bethpage - The Blue Course
traveled and presented at conferences, disagreed about plenty, agreed about more and are now starting to write a book together… brilliant.
I wanted to use this platform to thank Adam and to give him credit for a year well done! All the hours, the time away from his lovely GF ( thank you C.) and tireless amounts of time working with me (not that easy) have all paid off.
Thank you Adam !
Happy Holidays to you all and a HUGE THANK YOU for a year of amazing support !
Cheers,
Bsimi
