Erin Caldwell Named 2008 Charles E. Fremes Q Hero at Edelman
June 16, 2008 by Robert · 4 Comments
Memories of Erin’s time at Auburn came flooding back, recently. She didn’t write to tout her new honor. I just saw her note on her status at Facebook. “I’m so proud and honored.”
Well, you know I had to ask. So, I did. Erin shared that a high honor had been bestowed upon her by the good folks at Edelman. I share an excerpt from the announcement.
High praise to each of these honorees who takes the concept of “Quality” and makes it their own – they set a firm-wide example that others can look to and emulate whether working with clients or administratively within the network.
Each receives an extra week of vacation and the Q Swirl trophy.
Erin Caldwell, SAE, Public Affairs, Washington, D.C., for pushing digital beyond its boundaries and showing us how to put the S in social media. Two examples: 1) she conceptualized, planned and executed the first-of-its-kind blogger outreach for the oil and natural gas industry; 2) she conceived, planned and executed a branded training program called “Edelman Digital Bootcamp” that travels to colleges and universities teaching upper-level students in communications the role of digital and social media in today’s PR campaigns.
Well, to say I’m proud of Erin would be an understatement. I share this out of respect for her and what she’s accomplished. Trust me, I’m sure this is only one part of the beginning to a long and illustrious career.
Congratulations, Erin!
Trust me, I have to post about it. She won’t. Her last blog post was February 19th, 2007. :o) Her Web site is also crying out, “Feed Me!” to any passers-by. (Sorry, just had to drop that in here.) Read more
