Danielle Ricks

I'm a veteran TV Producer turned Social Media Consultant. I work full-time as a Social Media Specialist at Campaign Consultation, Inc. as a TTA Provider for AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) . My job is to develop and drive the Social Media strategies for the 45,000 AmeriCorps VISTAs and over 100,000 VISTA Alumni using social media tools that help this 45 year old organization expand their brand and their mission of combating poverty in the U.S.

 
In addition, I own Danielle Ricks Productions, a small boutique production company made up of freelance teams that provide exceptional communications and media support. I'm currently working with a small group of clients on projects as diverse as producing an online TV show to training groups on how they can best use specific social media strategies for their business. 
 
My services include:
  • Social Media Strategy Development
  • Social Media Consulting
  • Website Integration
  • Broadcast Programming and Development
  • Media Coaching
  • Special Event Production
  • Field Production
  • Electronic Press Kits
  • Marketing Videos
  • Corporate Videos
I blog about spirituality, women's issues, social media news and updates along wiht my daily work day commute from DC to Baltimore Maryland (that blog is a hoot!). My production, media and communications skills have allowed me to successfully manage profitable special events, broadcast programs, video productions and strategic, online social media marketing campaigns.  “I am a story teller and I love to tell a good story.  What story do you want to tell about yourself, your business or your organization?  Contact me so we can get started expanding your story online and in real life” ~ Danielle Ricks

“I have worked with all types of producers in all my productions, but when it comes to on schedule, on time, efficient, smart and good hearted those words spell Danielle, she is responsible and knows how to get the job done.
